Notes
♥ This recipe for Green Goddess Salad Dressing will make approximately 1-⅔ cups of dressing and only ¾ cup of dressing is used for this pasta salad.
♥ If you do not have Miracle Whip Salad Dressing, use a plain flavored mayonnaise and add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of paprika.
♥ Green Goddess Dressing is best when made the day before serving it. This gives the ingredients time to “marry”.
♥ Pasta typically absorbs mayonnaise-based dressings over time. If making this salad several hours before serving, check the salad for dryness at serving time and add additional salad dressing, cream, or milk as needed to moisten salad.
