I absolutely love this salad! It’s really simple to put together, and I make it all the time!
Makes 6-8 servings
You’ll need 1/2 package (6 oz) Creamette Rainbow Rotini, uncooked.
Just follow the cooking directions on the box. Here they are below:
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a rapid boil. For best results, add 1 Tbsp. of salt.
- Add pasta and stir; return to rapid boil.
- Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 9 minutes.
- Drain well.
- In a large bowl, combine ingredients (see below); mix well. Chill thoroughly. Stir before serving.
* The key to properly prepared Creamette pasta that is not sticky is to keep the water boiling continuously. Taste test the pasta one minute before the cooking time to check for the tenderness you prefer! :) *
Ingredients: 3/4 to 1 cup bottled Italian salad dressing, and whatever vegetables you like!
I usually add chopped tomato, sliced red onion, sliced carrots, sliced cucumber, olives, and grated Parmesan cheese. Sometimes we even add pees, peperoni, and cubed Coby-Jack cheese, which tastes really good in there also.
You can add as much or as little of each as you want!
It’s a very bright and colorful salad – and very healthy! I LOVE it!!
