Italian Pasta Salad
Shanna and I have a favorite pasta salad. It is based on the flavors of pizza. You'll have to figure out your own proportions.
- Cooked radiatore pasta (this ruffled pasta holds the sauce and flavors really well but other pastas would work)
- Pepperoni
- Cheddar cheese cubed
- Bell pepper chopped
- Chopped/sliced olives
- Onion chopped or minced
- Garlic minced
- Italian dressing (we usually go with Lighthouse Italian because it has such a lovely garlic bite)
Mix together and serve
This salad travels well. It has become a staple for our adventures in Yellowstone. We either pre-portion it out into washed takeout containers or dole it out in red solo cups. In the picture above I added orange bell pepper instead of green because we prefer the flavor. But the green pepper adds a lovely color. I've also swapped out red onion for yellow on occasion. You can add another crunch texture by adding celery or water chestnuts. - Jenny
