One of my co-workers found this recipe from a local grocery store; when we have potlucks we hope he'll make this salad. It's very easy and very tasty - but you really can't go wrong with bacon and parmesan-now can you? (The cooking time - includes the minimum chill time.) Ingredients:
12 ounces bow tie pasta, cooked according to directions |
1 1/2 cups bottled parmesan salad dressing, divided |
1/2 cup sunflower seeds |
1/2 cup sliced celery |
1/2 cup sliced green onion, tops included |
3 tablespoons diced pimentos or 1 small diced red pepper |
1/2 lb bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to directions on box, drained.
2. Add 1 cup of parmesan dressing, celery, onions, pimento/red pepper to pasta.
3. Toss to mix.
4. Chill several hours or overnight.
5. Prior to serving, add remaining 1/2 cup dressing, bacon and sunflower seeds.
6. Toss to mix and serve.
