Don’t you just love a pasta salad that is chuck full of ingredients… instead of JUST pasta?
This Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Salad is filled with pieces of salami and crunchy vegies. But we can’t forget about the cheese. It’s sprinkles with fresh Parmesan! This salad is perfect to bring with you for gatherings this summer. I mean, look how colorful and fun this salad is! It’s super easy to put together.
I love using the bow tie pasta (made with carrots and squash). Full of flavor and it just makes it pretty! By using the bow tie pasta, it tends to help hold up with all the ingredients when you pick it up with your fork.
One of the other main ingredients, the dresssing, is just a bottle of (Kraft) Roasted Red Pepper Salad dressing. It truly gives this pasta salad bit of a zing!
Toss all the ingredients together and let them be merry for an hour in the refrigerator before serving! There you have a fresh, delicious pasta salad busy with all the happiness!
Enjoy, my friends!
