This classic italian pasta salad is heavy on the greens and bursting with taste! i really like this salad as it’s so easy to make and the ideal side dish to carry to parties and pot lucks!
This conventional italian pasta salad is so clean to make, however always a favorite every time i bring it to events. all people continually asks for the recipe and there's in no way any leftovers! i took this pasta salad to my son’s cub scout “blue and gold” assembly earlier this week.
The lads had to give you carnival video games to play at their modern meeting and my son chose to do a hoop toss. i bought several 2 liter bottles of soda and some pool jewelry. i gave my son and his buddy a poster board and advised them to make a sign for his or her sport. i left the room and got here returned to a scribbled, slightly legible signal.
I was capable of whip up this delicious italian pasta salad very quickly. i like lots of fresh veggies in my salad, so i brought lots of cucumber, red bell pepper, onion and broccoli. and due to the fact that my kids love olives, i added a bunch of these too. no italian pasta salad is whole with out a few pepperoni, so don’t overlook to add that!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb. tri colored rotini pasta, uncooked
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup broccoli florets, cut into small pieces
- 1 1/2 cups thick sliced English cucumber
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 (6 oz) can medium black olives, sliced
- 1/2 of a purple onion, diced
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni, quartered
- 1 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
INSTRUCTIONS
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the pasta and 1 tsp olive oil. Cook until the pasta is al dente, and then add the broccoli florets. Cook 2 more minutes and then stain pasta and broccoli in a colander and run cold water over it until the pasta and broccoli are cooled. Drain completely and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, olives, onion and pepperoni. Add in the pasta and broccoli and stir to combine. Pour in the dressing and toss to coat.
- Cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve (up to 4 hours ahead of time for best results). Stir again before serving. Enjoy!
