Easy Midweek Meal 


Zesty Pasta Salad

I love an easy meal that doesn’t skip on taste and that’s easy on the pockets. 

My mom used to make this all the time in the summer when I was younger. We’d have it with some chicken my dad would grill and sometimes an ear of corn.  I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did! 


Here’s what you need: 

  • Tricolor pasta noodles
  • Tomatoes
  • Cucumber 
  • Shredded cheese
  • Cubed ham(optional) 
  • Red onion
  • Black olives
  • Green peppers 
  • Zesty Italian dressing 
  • Seasoning of your choice (optional)


Here’s how you make it: 

  • Boil your noodles until al dente
  • Cut up all the veggies
  • Rinse the ham
  • Put all in a bowl and add dressing and seasoning until satisfied. 


Chill and enjoy!
