Pasta Salad

This is my simple pasta salad recipe that everyone loves! Matt and I were not feeling good so there are no pictures :( Its okay though, this recipe is very very easy!

INGREDIENTS

Italian Dressing (one bottle, your brand of preference, I used Wishbone, it was on sale)
Adobo (we use Goya brand)
Garlic Powder 
Pepper
Italian Seasonings
Chili Powder
Paprika
Onion Powder
Parmesan Cheese

Tri Colored Pasta
Cucumbers
Red Radish
Cheese
Carrots
Celery
Black Olives
Heart of Palm

STEP 1
Prepare past as directed on package. 

STEP 2
While pasta is cooking put italian dressing and all seasonings in a BIG bowl. Like I've mentioned before we really don't measure our ingredients so adjust to your taste. I add more of the Adobe than other of the spices to cut the sweetness of the italian dressing a little. 

STEP 3
Cut up veggies to bite sized pieces. We like to use a variety but you can add or subtract more! Some more add ins are tomatoes, onions, green/red peppers, pepperoni, chicken, etc. Add them to the dressing and stir.

STEP 4
Once the pasta is cooked, rinse under cold water before mixing in with rest of the mix.

ENJOY
This is one of our favorite foods for after the pool. This dish can be considered a side or an entree if meat is added.
