ITALIAN PASTA SALAD
This salad is really great served with my Grilled Italian Chicken. This pasta salad is a great salad to bring to picnics because it doesn't have any mayonnaise products in it.
Ingredients
1 cup of broccoli
1 cup of carrots
1 cup of celery
3/4 cup of onion
1 cup of cheese (I like to use jalapeno cheese, but cheddar is really nice also)
3/4 of a peperoni
1 box of multi color pasta
1 1/2 cup of Italian Dressing
salt and black pepper to taste
Recipe
1. Cook pasta according to boxes directions
2. After pasta is cooked, drain well.
3. Cut all vegetables, cheese, and peperoni bite size and set a side to use later
4. Place pasta in a mixing bowl.
5. Combine all vegetables, cheese, peperoni and dressing with the pasta and mix well. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Place pasta salad in the refrigerator and let chill for approximately 1 hour before serving.
Note: If the salad has been in the refrigerator for a while the pasta may soak up the dressing. You may want to add some dressing just before serving the salad. Be careful not to put too much dressing in.
