I made D's pasta salad! This is something I always greatly enjoy eating but have never made myself. And guess what, she's right? It's not hard. At all.
I used tri-color rotini, colby jack cheese cubes, pepperoni (a lot of pepperoni. i really love pepperoni) and green olives. I was going to use black olives too but accidentally got "chopped" black olives which evidently means "black olive paste". Also a bottle of "Light Done Right" italian dressing.
It's really good. Next time I will use some harder cheese. The cheese cubes are a little soft for my liking. But get this! My all-of-a-sudden EXTREMELY picky two year old even likes it. Well, he only likes the white noodles from it. But this salad scores a million points for me just for that fact.
