Follow The Directions

01

Step
12 mins

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Add frozen vegetables; continue cooking until fusilli is tender yet firm to the bite, about 6 minutes more. Drain. (Approx. 12 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Soak the fusilli-vegetable mixture in cold water until cool to the touch. (Approx. 5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Meanwhile, mix pickles, celery, and radishes with creamy salad dressing, Cheddar cheese, Thousand Island dressing, relish, and Dijon mustard together in a large bowl. Drain fusilli and vegetables and mix in. (Approx. 10 minutes)

04

Step
8 hrs

Cover and refrigerate, 1 to 8 hours. Sprinkle paprika on top before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of fresh dill.
Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Bell peppers, cucumbers, or even cooked asparagus would be delicious additions.
This salad is best served chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together.

    The dressing is what makes this salad so good! I might try adding a little more Dijon mustard next time for an extra kick.
