I love, love this pasta salad recipe! Charlie is crazy for it, too. I got it from my good friend April H. There are two options for the dressing. I always do the homemade dressing.
Crack salad or Bowtie pasta salad
Salad:
1 box bowtie pasta-cook 12 min
1 can pineapple tidbits; drained
1 ½ c sliced celery(3 stalks)
3 green onions, sliced thin
2 c cashews, lightly salted
1-2 c Red grapes or craisins (i've always used craisins)
Dressing:
You can do either/or
1. 1 bottle cole slaw dressing
1 c mayo
Or
Homemade recipe **
1 ¼ c mayo
1/3 c sugar
¼ c vinegar
¼ tsp celery seed
Mix and add 2/3 of dressing to the salad. Let stand. Add the rest just before serving.
