Directions for Pasta Salad
Let’s make some pasta. We use tricolor rotini and cook it in the Instant Pot. Check out our post for those directions.

When the pasta is cooked and cooled, it is time to start adding the ingredients. We start with black olives.

Here is a good trick. We use cheese sticks to make our cheese cubes. It is a lot easier than cutting up a big cheese brick.

Add the cheese cubes.

We buy a bag of broccoli and carrots, then cut those up. It is quick and easy.

Douse the whole thing with Italian Dressing and you have yourself some tasty pasta salad.

We had ours with chicken!

Until next time,
