Hi--- This is a great salad for those hot summer nights when you don't really want to have the oven going! It is also meatless and a nice change from some of those heavy dinner meals! It is really quick and easy too! What more could you ask for! I will be making this again. It would be great to take to a covered dish at church too. hugs, peg Shell Pasta Salad ~~~Salad~~~ 1 cup uncooked small pasta shells 3/4 cup fresh broccoli florets 1 small carrot, thinly sliced 1/3 cup cubed American cheese 1/4 cup chopped cucumber 1/4 cup diced celery 1/4 cup sunflower kernels 1 hard-cooked egg, peeled and chopped ~~~ Dressing~~~ 1/2 cup mayonnaise OR Miracle Whip Salad Dressing 1/4 cup prepared Ranch salad dressing 3 TB milk 2 TB red wine vinegar 1 TB dried minced onion 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 1/4 tsp. dried parsley flakes 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water.
