Easy Pasta Salad Recipe

	Borinda / All my dishes 2 years, 9 months ago This is a quick and easy meal. While the pasta cooks you prepare all you're going to mix in, such as cutting the vegetables and the meat, chicken, or fish. Mix the dressing and by the time the pasta's done cooking all you do is mix it all together! Prep:15m Cook:20m Servings:4	Borinda

Ingredients

1 pound pasta - shape of your choice

1 or 2 carrots, peeled and diced

1 small cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 red pepper, cut into dice

1 - 2 cups cut up meat, poultry, or fish (salmon has body and works well)

1 large tomato, cut up OR a cup of split cherry tomatoes

Any additional vegetables you like

1 cup frozen peas

1 envelope Good Seasons Italian dressing, mixed with vinegar and good olive oil

Grated parmesan cheese to add on top

Directions

Bring water to a boil and toss in the pasta to cook for the directed time. While you're boiling the water and the pasta cut up all of your vegetables and the protein and mix the dressing. When the pasta is done cooking pour the frozen peas into your colander and then pour the pasta and it's water over the peas. The boiling water will defrost them but leave the peas with body. Mix this in with the other vegetables and cut up protein. Pour the prepared dressing over this to taste, some like it wetter than others. Pass the parmesan to top.

Pasta's not usually my thing, but I saw the comment you posted in the Suggestions Group thread, and it made me curious. I plan to try this next grocery run. Good post!

We tried this, and it was great! I didn't realize how much it would make, so I gave half to my sister, who adores pasta, as I owe her lots of times she fed us. It's all good!

I'm going to make this for a party - I love pasta salads and will do it with the Salmon. Thanks

We had this earlier today. I added onions and Salmon. I was out of cukes, but had zucchini so I chopped and tossed some in. Ladies & Gents, this is a 5, for sure! It does make a lot, however I do "seal a meal" for great tasting left overs. This is a Keeper,which I will make again and again. It is very versatile!
