Drescription

A no-fuss pasta salad using basic ingredients like pasta, veggies, and Italian or ranch dressing. Simple and perfect for hot days or gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces uncooked rotini pasta 2 cucumbers, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered 3/4 cup pitted black olives, sliced 1 cup italian-style salad dressing

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and cool by running cold water over the pasta in a colander set in the sink.
  2. Combine cooked and cooled pasta with the cucumbers, onion, tomatoes, and olives in a large bowl. Pour the Italian dressing over the salad and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
