Who loves pasta salad?

Tweet

I love to make and eat pasta salad, and I could eat it almost any time of the day! Since today is Easter I wanted to make pasta salad to take to my parents to share. They know I make it on special occasions and they look forward to it. I thought I would share my recipe and see if anyone else out there has any they would like to share with me. I like this one because it is light. You can add other items or just keep it very simple. So here is what I do: I start with the color spiral noodles. Rotini. I cook them and drain them in cold water and set them aside. Sometimes while they are cooking I will go ahead and prep everything else. I usually cut up two cucumber into small chunks. You can make them whatever size suits you. Then I also dice a tomato. Once the pasta is cooled completely I will add the vegetables and the pasta in a large bowl. Then I add some seasoning salt to taste and then a bottle of the Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing. That is the very basic salad. Other times I have added some chopped onions, a little garlic, pepperoni or even olives. When serving I usually have shredded cheese near by because a lot of people enjoy a couple sprinkles to top the salad off! There you go! If you get a chance to try it, let me know how you enjoyed it. If you have any to add, please do so because I am always looking to try new recipes. Happy cooking.
