The Perfect Summer Lunch or Dinner

[lipstickprint]

On HOT days like today (suppose to get up to 101 in the east county,agh) something cool to eat is the way to go.

So today I cooked up some "Mike & Crystal's Greek Pasta Salad" & it was bomb if I do say so myself.




Here's what you will need:

- "Vegetable Trio Rotini" noodles
- "Newman's Own Balsami Vinaigrette" dressing
- feta cheese (i use low fat)
- a can of sliced black olives
- a red onion
- broccoli

Here's how you make it:

- cut & stem broccoli for 10 to 15 mins (or until soft)
- use a little less than half of the red onion & cut into slices (i cut mine long & skinny, so picky people can eat around it, like kids or myself. But it needs the onion for the flavor)
- Boil the "Vegetable Trio Rotini" noodles (I use about 2/3 of the bag)
- Once done pour them into a large bowl that you will use to mix & chill in
- Pour in 1/3 cup of "Newman's Own Balsami Vinaigrette" dressing, black olives, & feta cheese (i use almost the whole thing) & stir in
- Once broccoli is done, tear it into smaller pieces (it easier then cutting since they are soft) & toss into bowl
- Give it all a good final mix
- Put bowl into fridge for about an hour & let chill




Now you are done & ready to eat! Enjoy!!!
