Supreme Pasta Salad
"An Italian pasta salad with meat, cheese, veggies. Try switching out different ingredients, I usually use what I have on hand, so the recipe changes a bit, but this is my favorite version. I like it better when the veggies are chopped small. It takes a long time to chop up the veggies, so sometimes I like to throw them in the food processor and pulse them a few times. Enjoy!"

Do you really mean to use 1/4 cup of McCormick Salad Supreme Seasoning in the Salad Supreme Pasta Salad recipe? That sounds like a huge amount

A big bowl of this in the fridge equals a happy summer! -
This is a great recipe. It's almost like the one my neighbor used to make. She always added radishes, broccoli, cauliflower and black olives so I added these to this recipe. I always used a half a can of diced tomatoes in place of the cherry tomatoes since this is what I had on hand. I also added some smoked gouda cheese since I needed to use what I had left up. Made this to share with my friends at the lake. I am very sure everyone will love this cause I know I do :) Thank You for sharing the recipe!

Wow! I forgot about this recipe, used to make it all the time. I used spaghetti, as I usually did, and the cheese and pepperoni, sometimes ham. The Salad Supreme seasoning is key to this great salad. -
