I don't know about y'all, but I could eat some type of pasta for EVERY meal. I absolutely LOVE pasta salad. It's the perfect side dish for almost anything and it's even great to have on it's own!! I love it when Adam's mom makes it...for some reason hers always tastes better than I can make it!!! This is my version of my mother-in-law's yummy recipe…
TRI-COLORED PASTA SALAD
1 box Tri-Colored Rotini {I use Barilla because I love the box!}
1 1/2 cups Italian Salad Dressing {I use Wish-Bone..I think it's the best!}
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese, chopped
1/2 – 1 whole cucumber, peeled & chopped
1 tomato, chopped {optional}
Chopped black olives {optional}
1 tub shredded parmesan cheese {I use the Frigo brand}
McCormick's Salad Supreme Seasoning, to taste
Make the rotini according to the package & chop all your veggies & cheese in the meantime. When the rotini is finished, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add in peppers, cheddar cheese, onion & the optional ingredients {if you like}. Add the dressing to coat...mix well. Now add the shredded parmesan and mix well. Finally, pour in your salad supreme seasoning. I wish I could tell ya how much to use, but I just eyeball it. This little seasoning SERIOUSLY makes the salad!!!! My mom introduced this to me years ago and I can't have pasta salad without it!!!!!
