McCormick Salad Supreme Pasta Salad
Description
The classic potluck pasta salad — rotini or spaghetti tossed with zesty Italian dressing, fresh vegetables, and McCormick Salad Supreme seasoning. Make it the night before for best flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb rotini, or spaghetti
- 1 1/4 cups zesty Italian dressing, divided
- 3 tablespoons McCormick Salad Supreme seasoning, plus more for serving
- 1 large cucumber, quartered and sliced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Cook the pasta. Boil in well-salted water until just past al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water until fully cooled; drain well. (If using spaghetti, break in half before boiling.)
- Chop. Halve the tomatoes, slice the cucumber and onion, and dice the bell pepper.
- Toss. Combine pasta and vegetables in a large bowl with 1 cup of the dressing and the Salad Supreme. Toss until evenly coated.
- Chill. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
- Refresh and serve. Toss with the remaining 1/4 cup dressing and finish with a fresh shake of Salad Supreme.
Equipment

Notes
- Out of Salad Supreme? Mix the copycat blend in the post: Romano cheese, toasted sesame seeds, paprika, poppy seeds, celery seed, garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, cayenne.
- Make-ahead: Best built the night before; reserve the refresh dressing until serving.
- Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days. Do not freeze.
- Add-ins: Black olives, pepperoni, mozzarella pearls, or broccoli florets all work.
