The instructions says that the first night, the pasta has to marinate overnight and then the rest of the ingredients were added the next day. But I will say that 3 days later, this salad was even better. At that point, I added a piece of chicken breast to it and made a meal out of it. I changed it up just a little, of course, but I don’t think it changed the flavor much.
LEMON PASTA SALAD
| LEMON PASTA SALAD |
- 1 box (12 oz) spaghetti noodles (can use gluten free options)
- Marinade:
- 4 tbsp lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp Accent
- 1 tbsp Seasoned Salt
- 1 small can of chopped black olives
- 1 -4 oz jar of pimentos
- 1 1/2 cup of thinly sliced celery
- 1/2 chopped onion
- 1 finely chopped large jalepeno or 1 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1 jar marinated artichoke hearts (optional)
- 1 cup Real Kraft Mayo
- Cook and drain your pasta.
- Marinate it overnight in the next four ingredients.
- The next day, add the mayo and veggies. The original recipe called for bell peppers but I only had 1 jalepeno so, that is what I used. Both were good choices. I also added the marinated artichoke hearts for kicks and grins. What isn’t better with artichokes. I loved the depth it added.
- This would be easy to make gluten-free by using different noodles and using gluten-free seasoned salt. I would not change up the seasoning. The flavor combination is a must!
