Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add macaroni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the pasta is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and green onions into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Mix the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, chopped vegetables, olives, and fresh parsley.

  4. 4

    Add Dressing

    Drizzle your choice of dressing (Italian or vinaigrette works well) over the salad. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
