Recipe Time! Summer Pasta

Ok, ok...it's not summer yet but I couldn't resist breaking out this recipe for a family get together Sunday night with the sun shining and 60 degree weather. This is a simple pasta salad that is so versatile and yummy! I got this recipe from my mom and you can put really whatever you would like in it.

When I went to the store it was so nice I couldn't resist getting an iced drink from Starbucks. mmm perfection.

Anyways, here we go...
What you will need (any brand works):
1 bag of veggie spiral noodles.
1/2 yellow onoin
1 1/2 green peppers
1 bag of pepperoni (I used about 3/4 bag)
1 bottle of Zesty Italian salad dressing (I used almost the entire bottle. It's however wet you want your salad)
Perfect Pinch Salad Supreme seasoning (McCormick)

My mom adds black olives, and tomatoes, but of course you can make this with whatever you want really.

First cook your pasta like you normally would. I usually cook this ahead of time that way the noodles are cooled and ready to add the rest of the ingredients since this is a "cold" salad.

Chop up your peppers, onions, and pepperoni and add them to your cooled pasta.
Add your dressing and seasoning to taste, and set in the fridge for a few hours.
Now enjoy! :)

Eric was playing hockey while I was making this so it was nice that I was able to open our sliding glass door right off the kitchen to occupy Banksy with the noises of birds while I worked in the kitchen.
He is so handsom isn't he?

Thanks for stopping.
