party size overnight pasta salad
(1 rating)
I first made this delicious salad about 20 years ago, when my then boyfriend now husband & I began dating. It was our first Family Christmas together. That was the beginning of a long list of many recipes, that I have made for him over the years. Today I made this recipe for my neighbor, who Is having a Birthday Party for her mom. She had never had it before but after I described what was in it, she was certain that she would love it. I am sure the reason for the name is because It taste SO much better after the flavors have blended together over night. Slightly sweet & a bit tangy. YUM

How To Make party size overnight pasta salad
-
1These are some of the main ingredients used to make the salad. I prefer Mayonnaise over Miracle Whip for my salads, because of the extra punch of flavor I feel it gives, but that is a matter of choice. Use what you like best.
-
2Cook pasta till Al Dente or according to directions on package. Then drain immediately and rinse in cold water. Set aside till needed. NOTE: LEAVING PASTA IN HOT WATER WILL ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE COOKING.
-
3Prep all of the veggies and set aside till needed.
-
4Add the condensed milk, Mayonnaise or Miracle whip, vinegar & sugar to a large bowl, add in the spices, then beat or whisk until creamy & smooth & blended together.
-
5Add in all the veggies, chopped chive and stir until well mixed together.
-
6Pour into casserole dish or 9 X12 size deep dish pan. Garnish as desired. Refrigerate at least 6 hours, but preferably over night. Stir just before serving.
