Heather's Pasta Salad

Lightly flavored and lightly oiled, this pasta salad has all kinds of vegetables and is a meal of its own. If you've found that deli pasta salads are just far too oily, give this a try. Can keep for up to a week in the fridge.

Bring large stockpot of water to a rolling boil. Boil rotini until just cooked, approximately 10 minutes. Drain and wash with cold water. (If not fully cooked yet, wash with warm water to allow pasta to continue to cook.)

Prepare dressing. It''s a very simple olive oil combination with pressed garlic, with salt and pepper to taste.

A very good, basic pasta salad. I added balsamic vinegar (which complements the fresh mozzarella), used fresh sliced mushrooms instead of canned and added a chopped beefsteak tomato. I divided the salad in half, and added smalled cubed salami to one half and chicken breast slices (pan seared in butter and olive oil with parsley) to the other. Delicious!
