Share:
Ingredients
- 8 oz. rotini pasta or any bite-size pasta, tri-color
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 2 Roma tomato sliced
- 4 Pepperoncini peppers whole
- 1 1/2 cups Italian dressing Olive Garden brand
- 3 cups romaine lettuce chopped
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to its package directions. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water until the pasta is cool.
- Transfer the pasta to a large mixing bowl. Add the parmesan cheese, red onion, tomatoes, and pepperoncini.
- Add the salad dressing. Mix well.
- Top the pasta salad with the chopped lettuce.* Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Once the pasta salad has chilled, stir well to coat the lettuce in dressing.
Notes
- *Don't mix the lettuce into the pasta salad at this point to retain its crunch.
- You could also add 1/2 cup of large pitted black olives to be more authentic to the original Olive Garden salad. We don't like them, so I leave those out.
