This is a recipe I adapted from a salad a friend brought to a pot luck we had one summer. I tweaked it a little bit and now I am requested to bring this to every get together. Very simple and inexpensive to make. Ingredients:
16 ounces tri-colored rotini pasta |
20 medium olives, sliced |
2 green onions, sliced |
8 ounces shredded parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
2 cups of your favorite caesar salad dressing |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Drain and rinse pasta under cold water until cold throughout. Toss pasta with
3. olive oil making sure to coat well. Believe it or not it prevents the pasta from
4. absorbing all of the dressing, thus becoming dry.
5. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss with dressing.
6. I like to garnish the top with more sliced green onions.
7. Add grilled chicken breast and this salad goes from a side dish to an entree.
