    Post Pasta Salad...

    Whenever I make spaghetti I always have noodles left over if it's just the 3 of us, so I add an 8oz bottle of Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing, diced fresh tomato, chopped cucumber, chopped black olives and a little shredded cheese to it to make a quick pasta salad. I generally use it within 2 days as a side for another dinner.

    We don't care for Italian dressing , but I add chopped veggies and Ranch dressing for a wonderful pasta salad, from leftover noodles of any kind.

    Ohhhhh...I've never tried it with ranch. That sounds great! Next time I'll try that. I usually add broccoli, cauliflower, olives, tomatoes, and green pepper to my salad.

    I love Ranch dressing, so I think I'll give it a try next time around. I do use ranch in my sauce for potato salad...gives it a little extra zing!

    Kraft sour cream and onion ranch is really good on this, too.

    I just use some olive oil and salt and add diced tomatoes, and "oven fried" onions, red bell pepper, eggplant. We all love pasta salad!
