Picky eaters? This pasta salad is quick, easy, and delicious. It also happens to be the perfect main course for school lunches!

Kid-Approved Pasta Salad

  • 12 oz. box of pasta (use spirals for some extra fun!)
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 1-2 cucumbers
  • 4 oz. Colby or your favorite cheese
  • 1 small can sliced black olives, drained
  • Handful of mini pepperoni
  • Salad Supreme seasoning
  • Zesty Italian dressing

Cook pasta as directed; drain and rinse with cold water.

Dice tomatoes, cucumbers, and cheese. Stir together pasta, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, olives, and pepperoni in a large bowl. Season with Salad Supreme (or a combination of your favorite herbs and seasonings). Add approximately ½ cup Italian dressing and stir well.

Let salad sit in the refrigerator for about one hour before serving. You may need to add more dressing prior to serving as the noodles absorb it.
