Ingredients:
- 1 1/2-2 cups chunky-style bleu cheese salad dressing, approximately to taste, do not use fat free (such as marie's)
- salt , to taste
- fresh ground black pepper , to taste
Directions:
- Combine pasta, broccoli, grapes, olives, and red onion in a large bowl.
- Pour all of the blue cheese dressing into a separate mixing bowl.
- Add enough of the reserved canning liquid from the olives to thin the dressing enough to your liking (*note:ifyou forgot to save the canning liquid, just use some cold water)- you may not need the full 1/4 cup, or you may need a little more- it depends upon how thick the bleu cheese dressing you purchased was.
- The idea is to make the dressing thin enough to evenly coat all of the veggies& pasta lightly.
- Mix thinned dressing with the veggie& pasta mixture and toss to coat well.
- Chill at least 2 hours or overnight to allow pasta to absorb the dressing a bit- the chilled salad will appear dry.
- Taste for seasonings- you may add a little salt& pepper if desired, but it may not be necessary depending upon the dressing brand you selected.
- Toss salad again before serving.
- Garnish if desired.
- Garnishing IDEAS: If you like a little crunch, please feel free to garnish this with some crumbled cooked bacon or some sunflower seeds- sometimes I have even stirred them into the salad itself.
