CREAMY ITALIAN PASTA SALAD



Creamy Italian Pasta Salad image

If you like simple pasta salads you should try this. I love this in the summer but you could have this any time. I didn't see any other recipes like this that used both dressings so I thought I'd share mine. They really do go well together. This is pretty versatile and you can add any veggies that you'd like.

TUSCAN PASTA SALAD



Tuscan Pasta Salad image

A flavorful diversion from the run-of-the-mill Italian pasta salad. I like to serve this with grilled, fried, or barbecued chicken, and a crusty artisan bread. I would double the portions if you want to have leftovers when serving 4 or more; this goes fast in my home! Enjoy!

1 cup bow-tie pasta
1 ½ cups grape tomatoes, sliced
1 cup Italian dressing (such as Kraft® Tuscan House Italian)
1 cup vegan mayonnaise (such as Vegenaise®)

½ cup sweet banana peppers, diced

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine pasta, tomatoes, Italian dressing, vegan mayonnaise, celery, cucumber, pepperoncini peppers, red onion, banana peppers, olives, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl. Mix until the dressing takes on a creamy consistency and all ingredients are thoroughly coated.
