Colorful Pasta Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package tri-colored pasta assortment
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large container with salted water and placing it on the stovetop to reach a rolling boil.
2
Then, carefully add your pasta into the boiling water and continue cooking until it reaches a slightly firm yet tender texture, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
3
Once cooked, remove the pasta from the water with a slotted spoon and immediately submerge it in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
4
Next, combine diced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, chopped onion, cooked pasta, and a store-bought or homemade Italian dressing in a large serving dish; gently mix everything together until the pasta is evenly coated.
5
Finally, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least one hour or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
