Steps:
- Cook pasta according to box directions, drain and let cool (do not overcook pasta, or salad will be mushy). Refrigerate.
- Meanwhile, slice and dice all veggies, and put in a big bowl. Refrigerate.
- When all is chilled mix veggies in with pasta, and add salad dressing, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix all well.
- *Save some of the salad dressing to pour on just before serving. When it's time to serve you can add more salad dressing, if you like more. The pasta has a tendency to soak up salad dressing as it marinates, so I save some to add right at serving time.
- Variations:.
- Use kalamata, or green olives instead of black.
- Add little corn ears.
- Add your favorite cheese, any hard, American or Feta.
- Add cheese and diced pepperoni, or hard salami.
- Add frozen green peas, thawed.
- Add radishes, diced, or sliced.
LINDA'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This is a thick, meaty spaghetti sauce that my Mother taught me to make as a teenager, and has received raves in three states. I try to use low salt tomato sauce whenever possible. I don't normally add sugar but based on reviews I've added it in.
