About This Recipe
This fabulous salad was created by some bad spinach. I judged a Wisconsin Cheese recipe contest some years ago and the winner was a fabulous layered salad that used spinach, tortellini, chopped cabbage and veggies, and cheese. So I bought the ingredients to make it one day.
But the spinach was soggy with mold in it. Bleh.
So I took the remaining ingredients and created a pasta salad. Which remains a favorite to this day.
This salad uses a mustard dressing now – the original was a buttermilk dressing with feta cheese. I love mustard, as you probably know by now. You, of course, can use any type of salad dressing you’d like.
And I used blue cheese in place of the feta.
Enjoy.
