Caleb1993 Recipe ⤏ Simple Pasta Salad Dressing

A simple-to-make pasta salad dressing, based on the ingredient list found on a box of pasta salad mix. My recipe is almost identical to the Italian-style pasta salad that comes from a box, but it tastes better.

Prep:10m

Ready in:10m

Serving:1 pint

Ingredients

½ cup canola oil
½ cup white vinegar
6 tablespoons corn syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Cooking Directions

Blend canola oil, vinegar, corn syrup, lemon juice, onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, parsley, basil, and red pepper flakes in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds.

Toss dressing with 12 ounces cooked and cooled rotini pasta and 1 cup of cooked and cooled vegetables. A mixture of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot works wonderfully; You can also add some fresh chopped tomato and fresh basil or parsley; If you do not add vegetables, this makes enough dressing for 1 pound of pasta; Meat and cheese can be added the pasta salad to make it into an entire meal.
