I needed a simple salad recipe for a potluck, so I decided on pasta salad. When I arrived at the grocery store, I spotted this YUMMY vegetable pasta. The pasta is comprised of four great veggie colors and flavors which made my pasta salad a lot prettier and tastier that the typical pasta salad. The recipe is on the back of the bag, but I have also listed it below. I wish I would have taken a photo of the salad after it was completed, because it was a super gorgeous salad! Very easy and very yummy!
Ingredients:
1 pkg. (16 oz) Hodgson Mill Veggie Rotini
1 red pepper, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
Fresh parsley
1 small red onion, chopped
1/2 cup of your favorite dressing (I think I used more like 3/4 or 1 whole cup)
1 tomato (I used 1 pkg. of grape tomatoes)
Any other favorite fresh vegetables, chopped
Instructions:
Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain. Rinse under cold water and drain again.
In a large bowl, stir together the pasta, peppers, and onions.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by stirring together dressing and parsley. Toss salad with dressing.
Cover and refrigerate salad for a few hours (or overnight - this is what I did). Add tomatoes to pasta just before serving.
This recipe says it serves 8 people, but I think it could serve more.
