Pasta Salad

My friend Cheri called this morning asking for this recipe. I told her that there isn't really a recipe, and she said, "Well, there is now." So, here it is, the thrown-together stuff we eat as pasta salad around here:

1 lb. cooked pasta (any severely-shaped variety - campanelle is my favorite)
1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian dressing mix, made with cider vinegar and olive oil

Pour dressing over pasta. Add liberal sprinklings of:

Organic No-Salt Seasoning (Kirkland brand from Costco)
rice vinegar (it needs more vinegar kick than the dressing alone provides, but a mild one)
Alnatura Krauter Salz (German seasoning from my friend Regina. If anyone finds a source here in the US, let me know! It is also delicious in homemade salad dressings.)

Stir in:
chopped colored peppers (red, orange, yellow)
chopped cucumber
chopped broccoli
chopped carrots
1 can chick peas (garbanzo beans)
1 can kidney beans
finely chopped salad greens

Optional:
chopped green onion
chunked cheese (cheddar and pepper jack are especially good)
chunked chicken

Dear Mrs. Sitterding

thanks for your request and your interest in alnatura and our products.

Much to our regret we have to inform you that we neither sell our products in the United States nor look ahead selling abroad. We just concentrate to expand within Germany.

We also do not offer an online order because we do not have the technical and logistical facilities yet.

Unfortunately we can't grant your request.

Kind regards

Mareike Kassler
