My Mom's Pasta Salad

This recipe has been a favorite in my family for years.
My mom always made it and now I try to make it for family dinners.
It makes a huge bowl and feeds lots of people.

Start with a pound of pasta.

Cook it according to package directions.

I add salt and olive oil to the water.

Chop up:

Half of a large sweet onion.

Half of an English cucumber.

Cut the grape tomatoes in half.

Chop the carrots to make about 2 cups.

Chop 2 hard boiled eggs.

Dump all your vegetables and eggs into your bowl.

Season with salt and pepper.

And now the easiest dressing ever.

Add about 1/2 the jar of Marzetti's Slaw Dressing.

Add the cooked pasta.

Stir to combine pasta with other ingredients.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours...longer is better.

You can make it the day before you need it because the longer it sits the better it is.

If the pasta sucks the dressing up just add more...

You will never find complicated, time consuming recipes on my blog.

I'm a maker of simple dishes...I'm a cook, not a chef.

Enjoy!
