Cins Chilled Angel Pasta Salad Recipes

ANGEL HAIR PASTA & SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions; drain & rinse under cold water. Nuke bacon until crisp; set aside to cool.
• Crumble bacon & mix together with pasta, onions, olives, & ranch dressing. Carefully work the shrimp into pasta. Note: As the salad sits, it will absorb some of the dressing - add a little more right before serving.

ROSE'S ANGEL HAIR CHICKEN PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• In a frying pan, heat the olive oil, add the onions and saute until translucent. Add the chicken, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Add the julienned carrots, broccoli and handful of snow peas. Cook just until the chicken is done but vegetables are tender and still somewhat crisp.
• Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cheeses, sour cream and salad dressing, stir until well incorporated. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine well. Add the cooked vegetable/chicken mixture and continue tossing.
• Serve immediately, this is best served warm. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. This recipe can be easily adjusted according to ones tastes.

CIN'S "CHILLED ANGEL" PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Boil pasta, drain in colander running cool water over it, then let drain well. Mix all ingredients for dressing together, mix well. Add all the rest of the upper ingredients together with dressing. Then fold in pasta. Being sure pasta is mixed in well. Cover dish and chill over night (or several hours) before serving.
• This makes a lot of salad so use a large dish with a lid (or cover with plastic wrap).
• TIPS:
• *I partially peel the zucchini, kind of in stripes, before chopping so it has some peel left on. My zucchini, being home grown, I pick some when they are babies to use in some special-salads.
• *You can also do this with the cucumber (although I usually peel mine). I like seedless cucumbers, but when I don't have any in the garden I use the small ones that have "very small seeds". If I have to use one with large seeds in it I always scrape them out. If you grow your own, be sure to plant some seedless ones (I like them best in these kinds of salads).
• Also good made with Dreamfields brand pasta (although I did not use it in this one). If you make this salad, I do hope you enjoy!!!
