Pasta salad is a stress-free dish to bring to events, like a family gathering or work potluck. Make it ahead of time and put it in the fridge until it's time to eat! You can customize it with vegetables of your choice and add meat and/or cheese. You can't go wrong with this quick recipe. 

What you'll need:
-1 lb. of pasta
-Vegetables of your choice. I use carrots, tomatoes, and broccoli. 
-6 oz. bag of Colby Jack cheese cubes
-4 oz. bag of mini turkey pepperoni 
-1 bottle of your favorite Italian dressing. I use Newman's Zesty Italian. 

Here are the steps:
1. Cook and drain your pasta. I use rotini, but you can use whatever variety you'd like. Other favorites are penne, macaroni, and bow tie. 
2. While your pasta is cooling, chop up your veggies. I eyeball how much of each veggie I add to the pasta salad and try to balance it with the cheese, meat, and pasta. 
3. Add pasta, veggies, turkey pepperoni, and cheese to a large bowl. Mix all ingredients well. Add 3/4 of the Italian dressing. Mix well again. 
4. Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator until it's time to serve the pasta salad. When ready to serve, uncover and add the rest of the Italian dressing. Mix well. 

Feel free to use a different type of cheese or meat or eliminate them from the recipe. Enjoy!
