The ones from the box come out just fine. I can make a homemade one "look" like a pretty pasta salad. It sure doesn't taste like one.I've tried recipe after recipe -- and I can't come up with one that tastes right. My problem is that no matter how much italian dressing I put in, after a few hours it tastes like...oil...tasteless. Even when I put more italian dressing in a second time ... after a few hours it tastes really oily. I don't know how to get the taste to stay.
How hard can this be??
I need to put this one under "cooking failure" (except that I don't have a category for that and I'm hoping not to have tooooo many cooking failures).
There's a trick I'm not privy to...
Does your pasta salad turn out?
I just returned Kid Food by Rachel Ray to the library, and inside is a recipe called something like Supreme Pizza Pasta Salad which even my kids will eat (mostly).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. My kids will eat Pasta Salad (they mostly eat everything - mostly), I just don't like what I make. By the second day it's either oily or has no taste. BLECH!
