Summer Pasta Salad
posted in Recipes |Tulipgirl has encouraged me and inspired me to share some of my favorite recipes on my blog. When I talked to her, she was looking for a good summer pasta salad recipe - well, I LOVE mine so thought I’d share it here. Hope others enjoy it as well. Pardon the lack of “exact” amounts and ingredients.
Ingredients
- Pasta - preferably whole wheat (any type of small pasta - rotini, bow tie
- cucumbers - chopped (I leave the skin on) sliced and quartered
- carrots - chopped
- cherry tomatoes - cut in half
- scallions - chopped
- Your favorite Greek or Balsamic Vinagrette dressing (Kraft makes an AWESOME Greek dressing)
OTHER ingredients that you could use:
- brocoli - chopped
- black olives- cut in half
Cook your pasta and drain. In a large bowl, throw in your pasta and all of your veggies and then mix with your dressing - I try to go light on the dressing. CHILL and serve! YUM! I usually make a huge vat of it and then it’s a side dish for dinners or a lunch all by itself.
