7 LAYER PASTA SALAD

Saw this on TV and decided to try it. I did change it a bit for vegetarian, taking out the ham.

7 Layer Pasta Salad

• 3 cups medium pasta shells, cooked, drained
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen peas or edamame, thawed, drained
• 6 oz. cooked ham, chopped or boil egg, (veg. frozen sausage), tofu, tempra i.e.
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup tomatoes, diced
• Salt, favorite herbs and/or Pepper, to taste

Layer the first 4 ingredients in clear 3-qt. serving bowl. Mix mayo, dressing, salt and pepper; spread over salad, sealing to edge of bowl. Top with cheese and tomatoes.
Refrigerate for at least two hours or until chilled. Toss gently before serving.

RANCH DRESSING

Soy Salad Dressing

How to make from soy concentrate or soft tofu to a mayo. Also, the how to make soy consentrate goes with this page. These two recipes needed a pages by itself. (This also can be started with a good thicker organic soymilk) It's one of the "emergency pages" that everyone needs to have filed away for emergencies, disasters and poor times ahead. Other spices after the salad dressing is made up can be added. In some parts of the world these two recipes are hard to find. (no 2 recipe...)
