Southern Side dishes

Pam's Original Pasta Salad

Ingredients

4 cups cooked 3-color pasta twists
1 can artichoke hearts, sliced
1 cup red kidney beans
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
1/2 carrot, slivered
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Italian/vinaigrette dressing

Directions

Cook pasta and drain. Mix together all ingredients except cheese and dressing. Mix in enough dressing to lightly coat pasta mixture. Stir in feta cheese and chill until serving.

Helpful hint:
Use a potato peeler to make carrot slivers.

Sweet Pea Salad

Ingredients

1 can sweetpeas
2 boiled eggs
mayonnaise
paprika

Directions

Chop boiled eggs into small pieces. In a bowl, mix sweetpeas and boiled eggs. Add enough mayonnaise to coat mixture until lightly creamy. Top with paprika and chill until served.

Noodles and Veggies

A quick and easy side dish without all the preservatives of packaged alternatives. I use snowpeas and canned mushroom but just about any vegatable will work.

Snowpeas, fresh or frozen
4 oz can of sliced mushrooms.
Egg noodles
Soy sauce
Salt and pepper

Directions

Cook egg noodles to package directions. Meanwhile, coat frying pan with enough soy sauce to lightly cover bottom. Saute snowpeas and mushrooms. Do not over cook snowpeas, they should still be crisp. Salt and pepper to taste. Add snowpea mixture into drained egg noodles. Serve.
