Pasta Salad

Pasta Salad

 1 lb penne pasta or farfalle pasta

1/3 lb of mozzarella cut into 1 inch cubes

1/3 lb of ham cut into 1 inch cubes

 ½ lb carrots

8.5 oz. canned artichokes in water

12 oz bag of broccoli cauliflower florets

1/3 lb of salami cut into 1 inch cubes

1/3 lb of provolone cheese cut into 1 inch cubes

10 oz grape tomatoes cut in half

3 oz cut in half black olives

4 cups Italian dressing*

Cook pasta according to directions, drain artichokes & olives. Steam broccoli, cauliflower & carrots to tender crisp. Add to 32oz bowl along with meats & cheeses. Pour dressing over all food except tomatoes then refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Before serving add 

Tomatoes and mix. I add tomatoes later so the fridge doesn’t take away the good taste of the tomatoes.

  

Makes about 30 oz. (I have a 32 oz bowl so that is what I used)

I did not add salt and pepper I thought the dressing had plenty, but if you think it needs it add it.
