Pasta Salad
Pasta salad is one of my favorite dishes to meal prep for lunches or bring to a big gathering! With the weather warming up, it’s time to have a backyard BBQ or maybe a pool party and this dish will be a big hit! And a little advice, you do not need to wait to be invited to a picnic or potluck to get some pasta salad magic in your life!

Ingredients (5-6 servings)
-
1 box of tri-colored rotini pasta
-
1 red bell pepper
-
1 English cucumber

Mozzarella cheese block
-
Pepperoni

Olive Garden Signature Italian dressing (measure with heart)

Salt & pepper
Steps​
-
Cook pasta according to the box.
-
While pasta is cooking, we’ll chop up the rest of our ingredients. I like to dice my ingredients into bite-size pieces and we’re aiming for about the same amount of all the chopped ingredients.
-
When pasta is done, rinse it with cold water to help it not stick together.
-
Add all your chopped veggies, as well as the mozzarella and pepperoni to the pasta.
-
Pour in your dressing, mix it all together, and don’t forget to season!
-
ENJOY!
