Recipe-Pasta Salad

Pasta Salad

 

I got this recipe from a friend of mine because I loved how she made it. Of course it was for a birthday party, so I had to add ingredients that my family liked, so had to change it up a bit! You can as well. You can basically put any veggies/cheeses/meats you'd like!

What you will need:

Colored Spiral Pasta--I used the veggie flavored kind!

Grated Parm. Cheese

Light Italian Dressing (my friend told me to use light cause reg sticks to the pasta too much and fat free just taste gross. haha)

Cucumbers (or peppers, carrots, onions--also can add meats as well)

 

 

Step 1:

Boil the pasta

 

While pasta is boiling you can start cutting up your veggies/meats

 

 

Step 2:

Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water so it stops cooking and gets cool.

 

Step 3:

Start putting your ingredients into your pasta. Start slow when it comes to the dressing. Adding too much will just make you taste the dressing, so add a squirt and taste ect...!  Remember you can always add more, you can't take it out! :)

 

 

Last step should be to sprinkle with the grated parm. cheese. You can also get blocks of cheese and use chunks instead of grated.

 

Enjoy!! It's such a perfect summer picnic dish!
