Answer 4

add some slivered red onion, & green pepper, shredded carrot for color.....sliced black olives......dressing : use mayo with a little mustard mixed into it....be sure to initially put in plenty of the dressing because the pasta will soak some of it up and you don't want a dry pasta salad......don't forget salt & pepper and add some parsley flakes sprinkled on top.

Answer 6

You could try Renee's Mediterrean Greek Salad Dressing, or Renee's Italian. This is the only salad dressing that I have found that only uses natural ingredients, doesn't have any added sugar, and tastes absolutely delicious.

Answer 7

mmmmm well add italian dressing it is the best with it and black olves taste really good um you can also add pretty much ne thing but make sure the dressing is italian! good luck try typing in pasta salad recipes online there are so many recipes or go to foodnetwork.com

Answer 8

ok, that does not sound good..pepperoni save that for pizza.
I would go with cut up celery..carrots..red onions..and your golden italian dressing by Kraft. Drizzle all the dressing over the pasta and veggies.

Answer 9

Italian dressing would probably be best with those ingredients, also, you might add tomatoes, black olives, red, green or yellow peppers, onion, really anything that would go well with the dressing you choose.

Best wishes!
