Simple Pasta Salad
I love pasta salads and make them often. They are great for using up re-purposing leftovers. This simple pasta salad keeps great in the fridge and actually taste better the next day after making.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds elbow macaroni
1 head broccoli
2 parsnips, diced
2 bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup diced onion
4 roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup no-salt seasoning blend
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
Instructions
1
Remove the broccoli florets from the base and place in a large bowl along with the diced parsnips.
2
Cook the elbow macaroni as directed by the package directions and about the last 3-4 minutes of boiling, add the broccoli and parsnips to the boiling water and cook with the pasta.
3
Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water. Once the pasta is cooled and drained, add it to a large bowl.
4
To the pasta add the diced bell pepper, diced onion and diced roma tomatoes. Mix everything together to combine.
5
In a separate bowl whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, no-salt seasoning blend, salt and black pepper to a large bowl until well combined.
6
Pour the dressing over the pasta and gently fold everything together to combine. Serve and enjoy!
