Tasteful Tuesday

Today's salad is great for a light meal that doesn't require heating up the house. In the summer we usually have something like this at least once a week. I also love it because you can change the veggies you put in to make it different each time. This is something that all my kids will eat without any complaining. Hope you are enjoying your summer.

Summertime Pasta Salad

1 Package pasta, cooked (rotini, shells, or a mix is good)

1 can sliced olives

2-3 tomatoes, diced

3-4 green onion, sliced

1/2 can corn (or 1/2 package frozen corn, thawed)

1 small zuchinni, diced

1 small summer squash, diced

1 bottle italian dressing

Chicken or ham, diced (as much as you want)

Shredded cheese, optional

Cucumbers, broccolli, or any other veggies you want to add

Mix all ingredients together and let chill for 2-4 hours.

My notes:

This makes a lot! I also like to add about 1/2 the bottle of dressing, let it chill and then add some more right before serving. Serve this with garlic breadsticks!
