Pasta Salad

Another fun and easy barbeque salad is pasta salad.  Even though my Hubbalubba hates Macaroni Salad, he goes crazy over a big bowl of pasta salad.  It's actually plausible that we make this one or more times per week in the summer, and even in the winter.

It's that good.

It's another recipe that people change and vary to make their own.  Ours is no exception.  A lot of traditional recipes call for ham and pepperoni, but since all things porcine are banned from my presence, I exclude them.  You're welcome to change it up however you like.


Pasta Salad

2 lb. garden rotini (tri-colored), cooked
1 cucumber, diced
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 cup diced cherry tomatoes
1 cup diced cauliflower
1 cup diced broccoli
2 oz. extra sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
2 oz. muenster cheese, cubed
3-4 cups Original Italian Vinaigrette


Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  Serve cold.
