Pasta Salad, Fabulous No Mayo!

1. 1

   Cook pasta to desired tenderness.

2. 2

   When cooled, add diced tomatoes, olive slices and beans.

3. 3

   Add Italian dressing, measure by eye, pasta should be coated, but not swimming!

4. 4

   I usually use packets of powdered dressing mix, as do not keep bottles of Italian dressing on hand, and can make as much or as little as I want.

5. 5

   I've also played with different varieties of Italian dressings.

6. 6

   You can have fun with it, tweak to your taste.

7. 7

   If not serving immediately, refrigerate. But mix well before serving to redistribute dressing that may settle at bottom of dish.

8. 8

   Serve with croutons, bacon bits & Parmesan cheese.

9. 9

   (I serve this on the side to sprinkle on top, because if any leftovers croutons& bacon bits will get soggy when refrigerated, and vegans don't eat cheese!).
