Caesar salad’s a big hit at Sunday dinner, for everyone
except Grandad. If I serve potato salad, Heather and I will be eating the
leftovers for lunch all week. Clearly not everyone loves broccoli sunshine
salad, Cole slaw, spinach salad, or carrot/raisin salad. But this one is a
universal hit. Maybe because, aside from the tomatoes, there’s nothing remotely
healthy about it.
Family-friendly Pasta Salad
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste
17 ounces gemelli, cooked and drained
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
10 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
8 ounces sharp cheddar, cubed
3 scallions, thinly sliced
24 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Whisk together the first five ingredients to make a
dressing; set aside. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add
dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour. Serve cold.
