Party Pasta Salad

I told you eventually I would throw some recipes up here for you to try! I got this one from a good friend, she makes some GREAT salads! You can tweak it and add whatever extras you like, these are just some of my family's faves. In these pictures I doubled the recipe because it was for a birthday bbq.

Pasta Party salad
1 package tri-color pasta
1 can pitted black olives
1/2 brick of cheese (cojack or mozzarella) cubed
1 cucumber
1 broccoli floret
1/2 container McCormick salad supreme seasoning
1/2 bottle Zesty Italian dressing
You can also add tomato, green olives, red onion, etc. I've tried it all ways and its delish! Enjoy!

Hey Em. I make another variation of this salad. I use the same pasta but I add Kielbasa sausage, broccoli, chedar cheese, red onion and the italian dressing. It's delish. I'll have to try your way.

That sounds YUM! Someone else mentioned adding sun dried tomatoes too! I'll have to make it with all of the above! =)

I used to use the box stuff but it takes about the same time to make it!

I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut so it always helps to find a new recipe to try and one that doesn't require the oven in the summer time!!!
Thanks for posting it!
