This is a summer time favorite of mine, I like to make a big batch and eat it for several days. This is a quick and easy lunch or side dish for dinner.
This post turned out to be a bit of a hybrid, I added somethings that I like to do with this particular type of salad along with some ingredients from Jessica that I hadn’t thought to add before. The end result was wonderful!
I make this salad in two fazes.
The to the hot pasta I add Salad Supreme seasoning and a bottle of Italian dressing.
Give it a good mix and let it sit in the refrigerator for several hours, letting the spices and dressing soak into the pasta.
Right before I am ready to serve I add the other ingredients.
1 can Olives, sliced
Tomatoes, chopped
Cucumber, chopped
Pepperoni
Parmesan Cheese
Typically when I make this salad I only add the cucumber and tomatoes. The olives, cheese and pepperoni come from Jessica.
(unless the cucumber comes from my own garden I always peel it, cucumbers from the grocery store are covered with wax…humans aren’t meant to eat wax)
(after I added all the ingredients, I realized that my bowl was a big small for mixing!)
Add additional dressing according to taste, for a salad this big I typically add another bottle of dressing.
This salad will keep in the refrigerator for several days, and only gets better as times goes on.
I love the addition of pepperoni, olives and cheese in this salad, this will be a permanent addition to my Pasta Salad.
