Disappearing Pasta Salad Recipes

CLASSIC PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Strain pasta and run it under cold water to stop the cooking process; you don't want it to be mushy. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add salad dressing, pepperoni, salami, Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, feta cheese, black olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion to the pasta; toss to combine.
• Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• 1. In a large glass bowl, grate carrots, zucchini and cheese. Drain and chop up artichoke hearts; place on top of cheese. If using olives, drain and pour on top of artichoke hearts.

• 3. Put pasta in a large mixing bowl (either Pyrex or the big Tupperware bowl). Add carrots, zucchini, cheese, artichoke hearts and olives. Crumble Feta cheese over all ingredients. Pour Italian dressing over the top.
