Easy Italian Pasta Salad

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the rotini pasta until al dente. Typically, 7-9 minutes. Drain the pasta and be sure to rinse with cold water.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the pasta with all the pasta salad ingredients. (Stir in the dressing last). You can serve right away, but I always love prepping this in advance, so the pasta salad has some time to sit in the fridge to really soak up all the flavors.

Step 3

When ready to enjoy, garnish with fresh parsley or basil and serve cold.
