Lamp Unto My Feet


List of Ingredients




1 c Miracle Whip (I use light)
1/4 c fresh parsley, chopped (I usually use 4 tsp dried)
1 tsp dried basil
1 minced garlic clove
1 (8 oz) package sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
2 c broccoli florets (sometimes this is optional if we don't have it or if dh is eating it as he doesn't like broccoli)
1 c corkscrew macaroni, cooked, drained, & cooled (I use tri-color)
2 medium tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
4 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional; we added this to the original recipe as it is a yummy addition)



Recipe



Combine dressing, parsley, basil, and garlic; mix well. Add cheese, broccoli, bacon, and noodles; mix lightly. Chill. Spoon on salad plate; surround with tomatoes.

Tip - To cool pasta quickly, run cool water over the pasta in the colander.
