I have been making this delicious and filling pasta salad since 1986.  My neighbor and dear friend, Skip Cooey, first turned me on to it.  It's great for potlucks and picnics or anytime you want to make a big bowl full and have leftovers.  Thank you, Skip.

     Enjoy,

Pasta Salad

 

You'll need:

  •  One 16 ounce box of tri-color macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 cucumber, halved and sliced
  • 1 medium onion diced (green onions may be substituted)
  • 8 ounces medium or sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
  • Mild salad pepper slices to taste (optional)
  • Green or ripe olives, pitted (optional)
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped (optional)
  • 16 ounce bottle of Italian salad dressing, to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl.

Add the Italian salad dressing according to how strong and "juicy" you want your pasta salad to be.  The pasta will soak up much of the dressing, so if you don't use the entire bottle when you first prepare this salad, you may want to add more dressing just before it's served.

Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. 

Pass the Parmesan for those cheeseaholics.

This recipe is easily cut in half.
