I take this slightly spicy salad to almost every party or picnic I attend. Every time I come home with lots of compliments, but never any leftovers! - Patty Ehlen, Burlington, Wisconsin Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) spiral pasta |
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
3/4 cup water |

1 large green pepper, chopped |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 medium tomato, chopped |
2 cans (2-1/4 ounces each) sliced ripe olives, drained |
1 bottle (16 ounces) catalina or western salad dressing |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add water and taco seasoning; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
2. Rinse pasta in cold water and drain; place in a large bowl. Add beef mixture, cheese, green pepper, onion, tomato and olives; mix well. Add the dressing and toss to coat.
