I love pasta salad. it also does well for work functions when we all have to bring a dish. I like using vinaigrettes and fresh veggies.

Mmm.

I also prefer a vinaigrette, or even a bottled Italian dressing. "Ranch Dressing" is a misnomer, as the real flavoring is MSG. I don't serve "MSG Dressing" to my kids.

My dd would love it but I'd have to use a few peas and carrots instead of the mixed veggies and add some tomatoes and bacon...mmm. I will plan this for her next visit...with chicken tenders, her favorite meat! And she's been asking for apple crisp too.
