This recipe was emailed from Leola to the family in Virginia Beach on 7/31/2006. Zell stayed back that year. Here was the rest of Zel's email:
"Hey now, just because I'm staying home does that mean I'm now the official family errand boy? Of coarse it does. I kid. Here is the recipe from Extending the Table... [above]
"Detailed enough for you? Hope you're all having a blast. I just finished mowing the lawn but have no ocean to go jump into to cool off so someone make sure they go do that for me today, ok? Ok. Love you all,
Zel"

Linguini/Rotini Salad

.

1 Box Linguini
1 container Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing.
2 Tomatoes
2 Cucumbers
1 container McCormick's Salad Supreme
Boil the linguini, then drain and cool it. Peel the cukes and chop up small. Chop up the tomatoes. Add the cukes, tomatoes, Zesty Italian (the whole bottle), and the whole bottle of Salad Supreme. Mix and serve.
This was Isaac's old recipe, but was taken off the menu for a long time. Right now it's back on the menu. I usually make a double batch one day at Virginia Beach.
A nice variation is to replace the linguini with a rotini noodle, or a mixture of rotini, shells and bow ties.
