Pasta Salad

This may be the world’s easiest pasta salad.  This is a quick dish to make when your husband comes home and tells you he forgot that he signed you up to make something for his work potluck.  Which is tomorrow.  Not that I would know.  That hasn’t happened in our house.  Twice.

Anyway, I love that this pasta salad has so many veggies in it.  It makes me feel like I’m eating healthy.  Which means I can eat at least 3 cookies for dessert.  Balance, right?  I also love the feta in this salad.  For some reason, if I eat any cheese other than cheddar, it makes me feel “fancy,” as my niece would say.  Can you tell I’m a classy girl? 


You can take out or add in whatever veggies you want.  Sometimes I like to add olives, and occasionally I leave out the broccoli because let's be honest, sometimes you just don't wanna eat broccoli.  Am I right?


Pasta Salad




-1 box Rotini pasta ( I like to use the different colored noodles)
-1 cup broccoli
-1 cup carrots
-1 cup cherry tomatoes
-1 cucumber
-1 bottle zesty Italian dressing
-about 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Cook pasta according to directions.  Drain and let cool.  Slice cherry tomatoes in half and cut up carrots, broccoli and cucumber.  Add veggies and cheese to pasta.  Add dressing and stir. 

See, I told you it was easy!
