Aunt Renee's Pasta Salad

My Aunt makes this awesome pasta salad for all the family occasions. Just thinking about this salad along with my Mom's baked beans are enough to make my mouth water! Alright here is the secret family recipe for the my Aunts Pasta Salad, I will post the baked beans another time!

Aunt Renee's Pasta Salad

1 Lb Rotini Noodles
1 bottle of Bernstein's Restaurant Recipe Dressing
1/2 C Parsley flakes
2 T Dill

Boil the noodles as directed on the package, don't overcook.
Place the noodles in the pan. Marinate in the dressing, parsley and dill.

While marinating cut up the following ingredients:

4 tomatoes
4 green peppers
1-2 red onions
5 dill pickles
5 sweet pickles
1 8ounce package salami
16 ounces (4 small cans) sliced black olives-can add more if desired

Mix cut up ingredients together minus the pasta.

Final step before adding back in the pasta;

Make the following dressing for cut up ingredients

1 C Mayo
1 C Sour cream
3/4 C milk
pepper-to taste

Mix dressing with cut up ingredients then add pasta mixture.

The recipe above is the original recipe, no changes made. DJ and I have made this quite a few times and have made a few changes along the way. We always double the noodles. Instead of 1 lb we use 2lbs. Also, we only use 2 green peppers, 1 red onion, no sweet pickles, and only 2 cans of olives. But we add cheese and pepperonchini's. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can add or subtract any of those ingredients and tailor it to your liking. Just don't mess with the dressing...oh and the dill is key!
