Supreme Pasta Salad- Easy to put together, packed with veggies and flavor! This is sure to be a hit at your next get-together!

Supreme Pasta SaladMeet my favorite pasta salad ever! So first I have to tell you a story. A while back I was at a church pot luck and had some of this pasta salad. I couldn’t believe how good it was and I was determined to find out who made it so I could get the recipe.  We were at a park and toward the end it started raining and everyone was hurrying to go home but I kept my eye on the pasta bowl and was able to see who grabbed it. So of course I asked her for the recipe later and this is it! The best pasta salad ever! I added a few changes such as adding cheese to it. But this recipe is quite versatile especially with what vegetables you add and how many.

This pasta salad is so amazing and so easy to make! All you do is cook the noodles, add the chopped veggies and if you want cheese and pepperoni then add in Italian Dressing and optional Salad Supreme. Salad Supreme can be found in the spice aisle and adds some extra flavor to the pasta salad.

This salad is still amazing if you don’t add it though. I tasted the salad before I added it in and it was really good. I found mine at Smith’s but didn’t see it at my Walmart fyi. I’ve included in the notes similar spices you can add to the pasta salad if you don’t end up having Salad Supreme for this recipe.

My brother-in-law graduated from high school last week so I took this to the family graduation dinner party afterwards and it was a huge hit! I got so many compliments! This is the perfect side-dish for your summer get-togethers!

Enjoy!

  3. I love pepperoni in my pasta salad, but I always forget to add it. I’m going to print this recipe and keep it in my box so I won’t forget anymore!

    • I explained it a little in the post. It’s found in the spice section at grocery stores. But you could just add a few of the same ingredients in it like Romano cheese, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, paprika, garlic powder, celery seed and red pepper. (I’d say just a small pinch of each. Add salt and pepper to taste.) You don’t have to have it for this recipe I just like the flavor it brings.
