Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Try making this popular salad pasta, often found in restaurants, easily at home. Once you make it, you’ll fall in love with its charm – it’s quickly assembled with fresh ingredients!
Step 2
Here are the ingredients needed to prepare your salad pasta. You’ll need fresh salad greens, Oriental dressing and balsamic dressing, grated Parmesan cheese (you can skip this if you don’t have it), chili sauce to add a hint of spiciness, sweet corn kernels, and of course, spaghetti noodles as the main component.
Step 3
The very first step is to create your delicious dressing. Salad pasta is incredibly simple because you don’t need to cook the sauce; you just mix the ingredients according to your preference. Combine the Oriental dressing and balsamic dressing in a 1:1 ratio. Then, gradually add chili sauce to adjust the level of spiciness to your liking. Using chili sauce, which is often used in diet meals, is a great way to add flavor without worrying too much about calories.
Step 4
Now it’s time to cook the spaghetti noodles. Add the spaghetti to boiling water and cook for the duration specified on the package. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colander, rinse under cold water, and let them cool.
Step 5
Since salad pasta is served cold, it’s crucial to cool the noodles thoroughly. If the noodles are lukewarm or hot, the salad greens can wilt quickly.
Step 6
Once the noodles are completely cooled, arrange them nicely in a serving bowl. Then, drizzle a generous amount of the prepared special dressing evenly over the noodles.
Step 7
Next, generously top the noodles with the freshly washed and prepared salad greens. Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables, or use a store-bought salad greens mix. Sprinkle sweet corn kernels over the greens for a visually appealing dish and a delightful pop of flavor.
Step 8
Finally, finish by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese to your taste. You can omit the Parmesan cheese, but adding it makes the dish look much more appetizing and adds a richer flavor. Once you buy it, you can use it for multiple salad pasta creations, so it’s a worthwhile purchase!
