CLASSIC PASTA SALAD
A classic, light pasta salad featuring Italian dressing. I much prefer it to a the heavy mayo-based varieties. Fast, simple, and easy to make in bulk for parties.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Strain pasta and run it under cold water to stop the cooking process; you don't want it to be mushy. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add salad dressing, pepperoni, salami, Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, feta cheese, black olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion to the pasta; toss to combine.
- Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

SARAH'S PASTA SALAD
This is something I threw together one day. Prepare the veggies while the pasta cooks and you're done in 10 minutes. I use different kinds of tomatoes, depending on what I have on hand. Cherry or grape tomatoes are easy to just throw in - no cutting required.

ANOTHER CATALINA PASTA SALAD
The first time I had this salad, I thought it was some sort of a cheese mixed with pasta. The original recipe was made with chili-mac pasta and hardboiled eggs. I now use rotini pasta and never use the eggs just because of their wonderful aroma :) The recipe instructions are based upon making it the night before. To make the same day, empty all the ingredients in together (including all of the Catalina dressing) and chill for at least 2 hours. Cooking time does not included chill time nor does it include cook time for hardboiled eggs.

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to directions on package.
- While pasta is cooking chop up the green pepper.
- Once pasta is cooked, drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is no longer warm.
- Empty into large bowl with the green peppers.
- Add 16 ounces of Catalina dressing and 1/2 cup of mayo and stir until pasta is completely coated. (It should have a creamy orange consistency).
- Add sliced hardboiled eggs and fold into pasta mixture (optional).
- Refrigerate overnight.
- About an hour before serving, pour in the last 8 ounces of Catalina dressing and stir well. (more mayo can be added if desired).
CATALINA PASTA SALAD
Great for any hamburger supper or pot luck dinner. This is better than any pasta salad I have EVER had as I'm not big on the vinegar based ones. I'm always asked to bring this to family gatherings. This makes a ton, so you may want to cut it down. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!

Steps:
- Boil pasta according to package directions.
- I usually add the baby carrots to the pasta about midway thru cooking.
- Place frozen peas in a large colinder and dump cooked pasta& carrots on top.
- Let drain.
- When carrots have cooled, I slice them in half lengthwise.
- Place pasta, peas& carrots in a large mixing bowl.
- Add miracle whip and catalina dressing until moistened.
- Sorry, I have no measurements as this is how I got the recipe.
- You just have to keep tasting and adding until you find the right taste.
- I like mine with more Catalina than Miracle Whip.
- I like to chill mine at least an hour before serving.
- Prior to serving add cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.
- After it chills, you may need to add more Catalina and/or Miracle Whip.
- If you make this the day before, don't add your cucumbers and tomatoes-it will make it watery.
- Feel free to change up your vegetables!

PASTA SALAD
This pasta salad has everything you could want in the bowl: loads of ripe tomatoes, chunks of mozzarella, sliced olives, salami and plenty of fresh green herbs, all tossed in a garlicky, oregano-spiked red wine vinaigrette. Serve it the same day it's made for the brightest flavor and best texture.

CAROLYN'S PASTA SALAD
this was a hit at the bbq. Everyone I know does the typical pasta salad with black olives & tomatoes, but the artichokes, REAL bacon bits, Vermont cheese and green olives were a hit! I like trying new things.
