Salad Pasta Salad Rotini Pasta Salad

Great for brunch, luncheons, or whatever. Easy and quick to make. I find that this salad is always popular at get-togethers and usually disappears rather quickly...

Ingredients:


  • 14 ounces uncooked rotini pasta
  • 2 cucumbers, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 3/4 cup pitted black olives, sliced
  • 1 cup Italian-style salad dressing

Directions:


  • 1   Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and cool by running cold water over the pasta in a colander set in the sink.
  • 2   Combine cooked and cooled pasta with the cucumbers, onion, tomatoes, and olives in a large bowl. Pour the Italian dressing over the salad and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
