Pasta Salad!.
1 lb pasta - shape of your choice
1 or 2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 small cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 red pepper, cut into dice
1 - 2 cups cut up meat, poultry, or fish (salmon has body and works well)
1 large tomato, cut up OR a cup of split cherry tomatoes
Any additional vegetables you like
1 cup frozen peas
1 envelope Good Seasons Italian dressing, mixed with vinegar and good olive oil
Grated parmesan cheese to add on top!.
Bring water to a boil and toss in the pasta to cook for the directed time!. While you're boiling the water and the pasta cut up all of your vegetables and the protein and mix the dressing!.
When the pasta is done cooking pour the frozen peas into your colander and then pour the pasta and it's water over the peas!. The boiling water will defrost them but leave the peas with body!.
Mix this in with the other vegetables and cut up protein!.
Pour the prepared dressing over this to taste, some like it wetter than others!. Add the parmesan to top!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
