Creamy Italian Pasta Salad

MTpockets's Note:

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.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 25 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 1 (12 ounce) package tri-color spiral pasta (or pasta of your choice)
• 1 cup Italian salad dressing (I like good seasons)
• 1 cup caesar salad dressing
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
• 1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced
• 1 green bell peppers or 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced

Directions:

1. Cook pasta as directed, rinse with cold water and drain well.
2. In a large bowl, combine rest of ingredients and toss to coat.
3. Add pasta and toss to coat.
4. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
5. *** If pasta "absorbs" the dressing, you may need to add a little more dressing after chill time before serving.

Just made this but haven't tried it yet. I used creamy Italian and creamy Caesar dressings. I made 60 ounces of pasta. Made it for a party of 75-100 people. Am going to add black olives to it also. Can't wait to try it!

This was a very nice pasta salad. The combination of the two dressings was great. Thanks for posting this recipe.

I made this salad to take to a party. It was fresh and seasoned just right. I added some black olives and some corn as well. WOW it was so nice to go with the oven crisp chicken wings ( # 40497) I had also prepared. Thanks for sharing. :0)
