Italian Pasta Salad

Courtesy of Cindy Elison

Dressing:

• 1 C miracle whip (If you're using mayonnaise instead of miracle whip, then use 1C Italian dressing and 2 C mayo)
• 2 C Zesty Italian dressing
• 2 T grated Parmesan

For best flavor, make the dressing a day or at least a few hours a head of time and let sit in the fridge. Don't put the dressing on until just minutes before serving or the pasta will get soggy.

Salad:

• 2 C (8 oz) corkscrew noodles (do not overcook. Definitely al dente. Run cold water over the noodles immediately after draining to prevent further cooking/softening. To prevent the noodles from sticking to each other, spray with cooking spray.)
• 1 C broccoli (again, just barely cooked. Boil for only 2-3 minutes and cool immediately.)
  
• 1.5 C crab
  
• .5 C yellow or red pepper
• .5 C tomato
• 1.4 C green onion
  
• black olives, if wanted, to add another color

Mix salad ingredients together with minimal mixing. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Serve with pepper.
