I decided to make a cold dish to bring to a family whose mom is sick. They really enjoyed it and it was so easy to make. I decided to make another one for my husband to take to work for lunch. Again, super simple and easy to switch up ingredients. The first time I kept it really simple but the second time I added a little more adventure to it. This recipe is great because you can really do anything with it. Have leftover chicken? Toss it in! Hate olives but love red peppers? Go for it!!! It's perfect for a potluck, lunch or a quick meal to take with you.
Ingredients:
1 box rotini pasta
1 bottle Italian dressing (I used zesty)
2 or 3 small tomatoes
1 large cucumber
1 can olives halved
Parmesan cheese, grated 1/2 cup
Additional ingredients:
Onion
Mozzarella cheese, cubed
Sausage, cooked and sliced
Directions:
Boil pasta according to directions. Drain, set aside.
Chop tomatoes and cucumber into bite size pieces.
Drain olives.
In a large bowl put in all your veggies, pasta, cheese (and sausage if you want that.)
Add bottle of Italian dressing. Toss all together and mix well. Serve immediately. Keep chilled in the fridge
*if you are going to let it sit in the fridge awhile toss again before serving so dressing is mixed well.
