Great Pasta salad for summer. Very easy and inexpensive. Ingredients:
8 ounces rotini pasta (barilla is best) |
1 large tomato, chopped |
1 medium green pepper, chopped |
1 medium red pepper, chopped |
1 small onion, chopped (optional) |
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can black olives, drained and sliced |
1 (8 ounce) bottle kraft sun-dried tomato salad dressing |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to directions, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. While pasta is cooking, chop tomato, peppers and onion into very small pieces. Add olives and mix.
3. Drain Rotini; rinse with cold water for about 3 minutes.
4. Mix pasta with tomato, peppers, onion and olives.
5. Refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour.
6. Add salad dressing; mix well.
7. Add Parmesan cheese; mix well.
8. Serve immediately.
9. If you have left overs, you will have to re-wet salad by adding a little more salad dressing the next day, especially if you substitute the dressing with a fat-free dressing.
