Pasta Salad & Abigail

I absolutely love pasta salads in the summer time. Not only are they cool and refreshing they are a great main dish or side dish.  One of my favorite pasta salad is one that I found on a blog.

Deliciously Creamy Peppercorn Ranch Pasta Salad. Perfect for summer cookouts, potlucks, and picnics. Leftovers great for days!

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 1 lb bag of tri-colored rotini pasta, cooked
• 1 lb cherry tomatoes
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1 broccoli flower, chopped into bite sized pieces
• ¼ cauliflower head, chopped into bite sized pieces
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 2 bottles of peppercorn ranch dressing

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl except for the onions and one bottle of peppercorn ranch and refrigerate for a few hours before serving to allow the dressing to be absorbed. Before serving, add the onions and the last bottle of peppercorn ranch.
2. Use as much vegetables as you like. You can also use whatever vegetables you like. Maybe bell peppers or some olives.
