Even though school has started, it is still hot, which means that I'm still not very keen on eating warm foods. Hence, this delicious pasta salad that I'm about to share with you :)
Ingredients:
Salad:
1 pkg. of bow tie pasta
2 bell peppers (using two different colors will add more flavor, but for this first time I went with 2 yellow ones)
1 cucumber
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 can black olives
Dressing:
1/4 cup oil
5 TBS red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. onion powder
Directions:
- Boil the pasta, according to directions on the package. While the pasta cooks, chop bell peppers and cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and drain the can of olives. Place the veggies into a large bowl.
- Combine ingredients for dressing in a separate container and mix well.
- When pasta is done cooking, strain it and add it to the large bowl. Pour the dressing on top and mix it all together.
- Enjoy!
The Evidence:
The Verdict:
This is definitely a recipe that I will be storing in my recipe binder! It was quick, simple, and flavorful. Plus, it was relatively healthy, which is always an added bonus to an already delicious dish. If I were to do anything different, I would make the dressing with apple cider vinegar, simply because I like the taste of it better, and use 2 different colored bell peppers. However, I have 0 complaints about the way that I made it this time, and I am already excited to eat it for lunch tomorrow!
