Rotini Pasta Salad Recipe
Directions
  • Bring three quarts of water to a boil. Add rotini noodles and boil until just tender. Remove noodles with a slotted strainer, place into a colander and rinse.
  • Place the broccoli into the noodle water and boil until the broccoli turns a bright green. Drain.
  • Place noodles, broccoli, crab meat, onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise, salad dressing, and Parmesan cheese into a large bowl. Stir gently until completely combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate for two hours for the flavors to combine.
  • May need to add more mayonnaise and salad dressing, if it looks too dry after being refrigerated.
  • Tip: This recipe doubles easily and is a great one to take to barbecues.
