The Rotisserie Pasta Salad consists of boiled short pasta with various Vegetables and a Creamy Rotisserie Salad Dressing with Mayo.
It is based on Mr Salad Dressing. Which is an excellent Dressing Base. To which, you can add in any seasonings you desire for a dressing. For this recipe, we are using JAH Rotisserie Seasoning.
Pasta
Use 2 Cups of any Short Pasta. Boil until the desired level of doneness and strain. Fill the Pot back up with cold water to stop the cooking process of the pasta and strain again.
Rotisserie Salad Dressing
The Rotisserie salad dressing is based on Mr Salad dressing with JAH Rotisserie Seasoning used to flavor the dressing. This is used over Salads.
For a Rotisserie Pasta Salad, the dressing is emulsified into the Mayo. Tossed with the Pasta and refrigerated for some time to fully absorb the dressing and flavors to blend.
Emulsified Creamy Rotisserie Dressing
To emulsify it so that the Mayo base does not separate from the Oil Dressing.
Add the mayo to a food processor and slowly drizzle in the Rotisserie Salad dressing (Oil, Vinegar, Sugar, and Rotisserie Seasoning). This will emulsify the Dressing.
This can then be added to the Cold Pasta Salad and won’t separate.
You can also use a whisk to add the Oil in slowly or a hand blender.
I usually do this in a large bowl that will hold the Pasta Salad and whisk the dressing into the mayo. Then throw everything into the bowl, mix and refrigerate.
Don’t worry about getting it to emulsify properly like you would with a mayo. The mayo itself is already emulsified and contains oil. You are just adding in more, so it’s not quite as difficult as making mayo from scratch. Just start off with adding a little bit while whisking and repeat.
Rotisserie Pasta Salad Vegetables
Here you can get creative and add in whatever you like most in a Pasta Salad. This recipe makes use of the following
- Cucumbers

Other Ideas may include Hot Peppers, Radish, Lettuce, and Carrots, or just about anything else you could place into a Cold Pasta Salad.
Rotisserie Chicken
Add Rotisserie Chicken! Season the chicken and cook to be stripped down to include in the Salad for added protein along with some cheese.
Or Slice Chicken Breast into small pieces and cook them in a skillet. Afterward, season the Chicken with JAH Rotisserie Seasoning to be added to the salad when cooled.
