    my buddy and I just saw and almost bought some chicken salad at Costco yesterday, would really rather make it from scratch, enjoyed your recipe here on how to do that.

    I love pasta salads. Love the suggestion about cooking pasta ahead of time and having it ready in the fridge to whip up some pasta salad. :)

    Your Basic Creamy Pasta Salad Dressing sounds yummy and I would love to make it but I don't have Watkins Snack & Dip Seasoning and unfortunately they don't sell it at my grocery store. Can you recommend a substitute or tell me what its content is so that I can try and duplicate it? Thanks
  • melody-thacker Aug 8, 2011 @ 7:38 pm | delete
    Thanks Kazy, no you won't find these dip mixes in your local grocery store you can purchase them from a Watkins dealer or online. You can find a dealer here: http://www.associatemelody.com/reps.html The exact ingredient combination is a secret so unfortunately I can't help you duplicate it.

    I love pasta salads but I have to admit, I'm rather lazy and buy those pre-made suddenly salad boxes at the grocery store. After seeing this lens, maybe I need to un-lazy myself and try creating something from scratch.
  • melody-thacker May 28, 2011 @ 7:37 am | delete
    Boxed pasta salad, you still have to cook the pasta don't you? Making pasta salad from scratch isn't hard, hope you try it!

    My new obsession right now is whole wheat pasta. Healthy, lots of fibre and flavourful. Can't wait for dinner tonight. We'll be having pasta putanesca and grilled tuna steak - just two of my all time favourites.

    My friend gave me a yummy pasta salad. I use bow tie pasta, add hard boiled eggs, green onion, sliced olives, red kidney beans and mayo and it tastes better the next day after flavors marry. You could also add some garlic powder and a s/p to taste.
