Ready or Not!

The summer heat is here. Bringing to mind the delectable Italian pasta salad as a weekly option for dinner.

Italian Pasta Salad
1/2 box Plus Pasta cooked and cooled
1 carton cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
2 small cans of olives sliced, or you can use kalamata olives here
1 can marinated artichoke hearts cut in small pieces
1/2 small onion, diced
Mozzarella Cheese (to taste)cubed
Parmesan Cheese (to taste)
Italian Dressing (to taste)
Squeeze of lemon, for freshness

Combine all the ingredients and add as much of the cheese and Italian dressing as you would like.

I like to use Newton's Own Lite Italian dressing but if you prefer the full fat version, it is yummy too!

This is a recipe that can be adjusted and the measurements I gave were an estimate, typically I just go with the flow.

Additional ingredients can be broccoli, heirloom tomatoes, mushrooms, peppercinnis (sp?), and avocado.
