I don't usually have a recipe for noodle salads, I just like to mix and serve. I like the taste of this salad but am unsure of the texture. For some reason when I added the peppers the dressing pulled away from the noodles and it got shiny. I have never had this happen before. If anyone knows why or has suggestions, I would love to hear them. Anyway...it still tastes good and we will enjoy it.
3 c. noodles, cooked to aldente
4-6 oz. block cheese, cut into small cubes
1 red, yellow, orange or green pepper, cut into bite sized pieces
Dressing:
2 c. mayo
2 T. heavy cream
1 T. mustard
2 tsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. seasoning salt
2 T. ranch dressing
1/4 tsp. dry dill weed, crushed
Cook noodle and cool. Mix ingredients for dressing. Mix into noodles, adding cheese and pepper. Chill and serve.
It tasted wonderful, Melinda. I especially enjoyed scooping it with those parmesan garlic potato crisps along side.

ReplyDeleteJust a thought, do you think because the peppers had been cut up and in the frig a day or so that the oil or juices in the peppers seeped out and made them a little more oily overall? Maybe that's what caused the dressing to separate a little from the pasta.
