My favorite pasta salad that I serve all summer long! Lovely with grilled chicken, a crusty bread or rolls and a glass of chilled white wine. I hope you enjoy! Note: Do try to use real French cornichons, if you can get them, as they really make this dish extra special.
Ingredients:
8 ounces corkscrew macaroni, cooked and drained (measured dry)
1/4 cup italian parsley, chopped
3 stalks celery & leaves, chopped
1 cup french cornichon gherkin, chopped
1/4 cup spanish manzanilla olives, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
10 ounces sweet grape tomatoes
1 1/2 cups cubed cheddar cheese
1 (2/3 ounce) packet good seasons italian salad dressing mix
black pepper (to taste)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (heaping)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix ingredients in order given. Stir well to combine.
2. Cover and chill until serving time.
3. Goes great with grilled chicken and a glass of chilled white wine!
