Pasta Salad for the Wiiiiiiiin!
Confession. I actually don't like pasta. It's bizarre because I love noddles but pasta and I haven't gotten along in... well, a long time. Interestingly enough however, pasta salad and I get along.
I was wondering why one of my previously awesome hockey teams was failing so epically the other night and then suddenly I was like "I want pasta salad". No really. It was like "why are they so bad these days? They used to be so good. There is no reason why they should be - PASTA SALAD!".
Not the best picture, I know. In all honesty, I had trouble taking a picture of it because I would keep eating it before I could find the camera. This is actually the second batch after the big revelation.
What's in it
- Cooked pasta (these spiral doodad ones are pretty good).
- Free tomatoes
- grilled eggplant
- grilled red peppers
- kalamata olives
- artichokes
For the dressing bit
- olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
- basil
- parsley
- garlic
- dried tomatoes
I really don't measure stuff so it was all just piled in there. I could eat this stuff all day if I actually didn't eat it all in one meal....
