Difficutly: very easy
Time: 5 Min
Portion: 1 serving
Ingredients:
1 pkg. tri-colored Rotini pasta (Cooked to al dente, do not overcook! Rinse with cold water.)
1/2 bottle Italian dressing, or to taste (We like to use Kraft Light Zesty Italian with Extra-virgin olive oil, 16oz)
1 Tbsp. lemon pepper (or to taste)
1-2 avocados, diced
2 tomatoes, diced (or 1 can petite diced tomatoes, drained well OR if you want to get really fancy, use sun-dried tomatoes–YUM)
2 small cans sliced olives
5 sticks of string cheese, cut into circles
1 jar quartered artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped
1/2 c. shredded Parmesan cheese (NOT grated)
Other great things you could add:
cooked chicken, seasoned and diced
chopped broccoli
green or red bell pepper
onion
mushrooms
Directions:
Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl until pasta is evenly coated in dressing. For best results, cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours.
