fruity noodle salad
ingredients
- 500 g spiral noodles (eg Fusilli)
- 1 large glass of Miracle Whip
- 1 small tin of pineapple pieces
- 1 small tin of peas
- 1 small tin of mushrooms (regardless of whether 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice)
- 1 small tin of vegetable corn (only who likes)
- 1 pepper (like red as a splash of color)
- Salt pepper (for cooking water and to taste)
- 1 large bowl
- 1 wooden spoon
preparation
- Cook pasta noodles in plenty of salted water. Stir occasionally so they do not interfere.
- The noodles should be cooked, but not soggy. In no case al dente, because the 'bite' should give the vegetables, not the pasta. Ideal are 11-12 minutes cooking time.
- Oil is superfluous and pure waste, because it floats only on the surface around and comes with the noodles not in touch. Who has taken care in physics / chemistry knows that.;)
- After the cooking time pour off in a strainer and briefly quench cold, so they do not continue to cook. Then cool in a large bowl, at least at room temperature.
- Pasta should not take more than 2/3 of the bowl, so that not half over the mixing
- Cut off a lid in the top of the pepper and hollow well, so that no grains remain inside (if necessary, rinse with cold water).
- Then cut the peppers into small strips or pieces.
- Open the cans and drain the contents well
- (Catch pineapple juice in a glass and keep cold).
- Now the chopped peppers, the mushrooms, the peas, the corn (if desired) and add the pineapple pieces to the noodles.
- If you want to have the pasta salad with meat, you can now cut and add meat sausage or cooked ham strips.
- Short, but mix thoroughly.
- Now add the spoonful of Miracle Whip to the salad mass until it is sufficiently distributed in the salad and everything is evenly distributed.
- Only now the pasta salad with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the salad bowl cold (if possible, in the fridge) and let it pass for at least one hour.
3 tips
- Apart from the Miracle Whip, cheap discount store ingredients are totally sufficient, it really does not have to be expensive branded goods.
- If the pasta salad is not eaten on the same day, please cover with foil or a lid (who has a suitable) and store in the refrigerator. In the case that the pasta salad should be a bit dry the next day, you can add something to the collected pineapple juice.
- If you like, you can of course use the Miracle Whip in any quantity. It should, however, only be a flavor and moisture carrier for the pasta-salad mixture - and not drown the salad, as many salads you can buy.
I wish good appetite!
