The perfect easy shortcut pasta salad! Loaded with veggies and parmesan and finished off with a zesty dressing. This is a classic, go-to summer side dish.
1 1/3cupsbottled 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.
