Ingredients
- 1 box (12 oz) tricolor rotini pasta
- 1 cup chopped cucumber _(peeled and seeded, about 1 cucumber)_
- 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomates
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 1/2 - 1 cup Italian salad dressing
- red bell pepper
- garlic seasoning
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to box instructions. Remember to salt your pasta water with 1-2 teaspoons of salt. When pasta is done, drain it and run cold water over it so the noodles can cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled pasta, cucumber, tomatoes, feta cheese, olives, and red onion. Pour Italian dressing over it and stir together.
- _ Start with 1/2 cup Italian dressing and go from there. I put about 3/4 cup dressing on the salad and then reserve the rest to add to the salad before serving to moisten it back up._
- Can be eaten right away or refrigerated for a few hours before serving.
- _ I like it cold so I refrigerate for 2-4 hours before serving._
