Pasta Salad

Pasta salad and baking have nothing to do with one another. However, instead of baking last night I made pasta salad so that's the recipe you are getting. Plus it was hotter than Hades in Minnesota again last night so turning on the oven didn't sound like the brightest idea. Nothing is better in the summer than a nice, cool, refreshing pasta salad (none of that lettuce salad stuff!)


This pasta salad is very easy to make and you only need a few ingredients.

Rotini Noodles, Italian Dressing, Suddenly Salad Supreme Seasoning, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Onion, and Pepperoni

Start by cooking the noodles according to the box.


While the noodles are cooking, chop up your onions

Chop up your cucumber

Chop up your tomatoes

Chop up your pepperonis

Once the noodles are cooked to al dente allow to cool before adding your ingredients

Now grab an ice cream bucket, yes, we are classy like that. And of course we had to pick up the limited edition Joe Mauer ice cream bucket.

Dump in your noodles.

Add a generous portion of the Italian dressing. Again this salad is meant to be easy and there is no measuring to be done. Mix until noodles are covered.

Add in the onions

 
Add in the cucumbers

Add in the tomatoes

Mix it thoroughly. I just liked this action shot so that is why you are getting the picture. Krista is really getting into it!

 
Add in a heaping amount of Suddenly Salad Supreme seasoning. If you have never used this stuff before, stop what you are doing (well finish reading the post), drive/walk/run to the store and pick some of it up. To die for!

Add in the pepperonis

Give it one final mix, and try a sample. It might need more dressing, or more salad supreme, or even an extra bit of onion. It really comes down to your personal preference. So don't be scared if you have the urge to add more of something. As my mother always says more is better.
