Summertime Pasta Salad

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here is a refreshing summer pasta salad. It has no mayo and is not "heavy" in the least bit. So good on a hot day.
Pasta Salad
1 box of tri-color Rotini
6 to 8oz macaroni
Veggies of choice
1 bottle of light Italian dressing
Feta cheese (and lots of it!)
Mozzarella cheese
Boil pasta to al-dente. When cooked mix all ingredients, refrigerate and enjoy.
The longer it marinates the better it gets so fix it several hours earlier than you plan to eat it!!

    I agree with you Leslie! Pasta salad is wonderful! I add 3 different kinds of olives to mine plus peppercini's cut in 3rds plus salami or pepperoni! I also use red onion because it adds another color plus it tastes good!

    I love pasta salad. I don't like raw bell pepper, but i found i like roasted red bell pepper like you can buy in a jar, love using it in my pasta salads. Have you ever tried it, and i add pepperoni for some kind of meat,. Something different. Thought I would share. Found your channel a few days ago, love it. I'm a Christian too, and love to watch channels that don't use bad language and all. God Bless.

    I have made the vegetable pizza before and love it, once I get the crescent dinner roll crust done I let it cool and then I use the Marzetti Dill Vegetable dip and spread on the crust and then I add small pieces of broccoli, cauliflower, onion, carrot, radishes, and grated cheddar cheese. My pasta salad have made I usually go to Bob Evans and get a jar of their Colonial Dressing.

    I cook my pasta at the lower end of the time it says on the package. You don't want to overcook it. Then I rinse in cold water. I let it drain while doing my vegetables. You can also put the italian dressing in the fridge the night before. I use red onion because it adds color. I also put black olives in my salad. I I think I will try feta in mine next time. Nice addition!

    Your pasta salad looks so good...!! My family and I love pasta salads too. I also put in cucumbers, bell pepper, green olives & black olives ( chopped ). Sometimes I add a little celery. But my favorite is when put in some crabmeat. I usually just buy the imitation crabmeat. I just chop it up with my kitchen scissors. You could even put in some frozen peas. I would probably blanch them too before putting them in the pasta salad. Then add mayonnaise , salt , pepper, and a little dill weed. 😊😉❤

    Have you ever added pepperoni to your pasta salad. I make something like it and the family demands pepperoni along with tomatoes, cheddar cheese, peppers of different colors, onions, celery, cucumbers just like you did. I have also used bow tie pasta in my salad. Love your videos. Going back and watching the older ones I haven't seen. Have a blessed day.
