Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) box tri-color rotini pasta
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 1/2 cups diced English cucumber
- 1 1/2 cups tiny chopped broccoli florets
- 1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
- 1 cup olives, sliced
- 3/4 cup thinly sliced baby carrots
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/3 cups bottled Italian salad dressing (I prefer Kraft with this recipe)
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions to al dente but do not season water with salt (the dressing has plenty). Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Pour pasta into a bowl, add tomatoes, broccoli, bell pepper, olives, cucumber, carrots, red onion and parmesan.
- Pour dressing over and toss to evenly coat.
- Cover and chill at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 day). Add a little more dressing if needed.
Notes
- If you like cheese, try adding a cup of cubed mozzarella cheese to this salad.
- Toss this salad just before serving to redistribute the Italian dressing.
