Momma’s pasta salad

Summers always meant pasta salad – kids ask for the recipe so it must have been a hit


Ingredients:

  • 1 box tri-color rotini
  • 1 can sliced black olives
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 2-3 C broccoli florets
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 container cherry tomatoes
  • 6 oz container crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small bottle greek dressing
  • 1/2 C Vegannaise

Preparation:

  • Boil the rotini just to al dente
  • Lightly steam your broccoli florets (also leave them with a little crunch left!)
  • Chop your onion
  • Peel, slice, and halve your cucumber
  • Cut your cherry tomatoes to halves
  • Mix all your chopped vegetables together with the sliced black olives, feta cheese, and blanched broccoli
  • Drain pasta and rinse with cool water to stop further cooking
  • Once fully drained, add the pasta to the bowl with your other ingredients
  • Add in the Vegannaise and stir to cover all ingredients
  • Add in the Greek dressing in small amounts at a time to the taste you like
Store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving
