Ask:
Really quick I was just wondering what to add to a really plain pasta salad...
so far it is just elbow mac, mayo, and cukes.
what can i add to spice it up?? I dont have much in my fridge... any advice would be great, i am in a rush! tia!
Answer:
I usually add some chunks of cheddar, pepperoni, and tomatoes. My friend also adds celery to hers. To spice it up a little, you could add some ranch dressing or something close to that!! HTH
Answer:
I usually mix a cup of salsa to half a cup of sour cream. Maybe mix the salsa with mayo? the best is two parts salsa to one part of mayo or sour cream.
Some times i use italian salad dressing-or mix olive oil with different seasonings.
Answer:
For the dressing, a little mustard, a little sugar and spices.
Chopped black olives
Hard boiled eggs
Diced onion - regular or green
Parsley and / or dill
shredded carrots
green beans or broccoli bits (any veggies in the freezer?)
Pimento or diced chilis (canned)
Even canned red kidney beans would be good.
Answer:
Add some finely chopped onions, parsley. Or if you dont have fresh produce, add granulated garlic /onion powder, pepper, cayenne pepper (if you like it spicy). let it sit to marinate.
Also add a couple hard boiled eggs, chopped. a bit of yellow mustard, tiny splash of white vinegar and a teasp of white sugar.
