Hey folks!
We’ve got another easy, inexpensive (but delicious) meal coming at you!
Check out this Italian Picnic Salad! 😋
Italian Picnic Pasta Salad
1 box Cadia fusilli
1 can Cadia garbanzos drained and rinsed
1/2 c frozen peas, rinsed or set out to thaw and drain
1 sm red onion diced
I container of Delallo seasoned olive medley, drained but not rinsed. Reserve oil.
Dressing:
1/4C Cadia olive oil
2T Cadia vinegar (doesn’t matter which type! All are going to work great)
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp Cadia garlic granules
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt&pepper
1tsp honey
1. Prepare pasta according to instructions and desired doneness and rinse with cold water until chilled
2. While waiting for water to boil, prepare dressing (so it has time to sit) by combining ingredients in a small jar and shaking until totally emulsified.
3. Combine the rest of the ingredients desired in a large bowl. Add prepared pasta when ready, shake up the dressing again before applying. If you want it more heavily dressed, add some of the reserved oil from the olives. If desired, add grated hard cheese. Can be served as a side by itself or tossed with greens to lighten up and expand the meal!
