Pasta salad is a great side for every time of year! Tasty and easy to make, try taking this along with you to your next picnic or cookout! This one is a family staple and can be found at every one of my family’s parties!
Ingredients:
- 1 Box Tri-Color Rotini
- 1 Container Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
- 1 Small Can Sliced Black Olives
- 1 Small Onion (red or white), diced
- 1 Head Broccoli (cut in small pieces)
- 1 Jar Whole Mushrooms
- 1 8oz bag of cubed cheese
- ½ Bag Hormel Pepperoni Minis
- 1 Bottle Italian Dressing of your choice (Newman’s Own Family Recipe Italian is my personal favorite)
Instructions:
Cook pasta to desired tenderness (some prefer al dente for pasta salad, I like it a bit softer). Drain, rinse, cool.
Add all ingredients together with Italian dressing and mix. Season with salt and pepper.
*Note- if making this ahead of time, take an extra bottle of Italian dressing. The pasta will soak up the dressing, so it’s always good to have a little extra on hand.
