This is our favorite!

Cook One 16 0z box of rotini pasta, The three color type looks best, dont over cook. Rinse in cold water, drain and chill while You prepare the other stuff. all amounts are to taste.

A bunch of grape size tomatoes cut in half.

Black olives sliced.

Shredded carrots.

Diced celery.

Shredded cheddar cheese.

Parmesan cheese.

Mix all ingredients, just toss in as much as looks good. Then coat well with a good bottled Italian salad dressing. Ceasar is very awsome. Chill for about an hour, and test flavor, You may want to add more parmesan and salad dressing.

Everyone will love this.

Answer 4

I like pasta salads with "no fat" vinaigrettes, red wine, balsamic, etc... I also really like to use bow tie pasta. I just get veggies I like, all colors of Bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, anything really and mix it up with the vinaigrette and pasta. I put it in the fridge for a while and then it is ready to eat. You can also put on pepper, salt, Parmesan, etc... The kids love it and it is healthy.

Answer 5

the type of pasta is the secret - try rotini looks like screws or try pinwheels - then add stuff you know they like and can identify like peas chopped eggs carrots and a little mayo salt to taste and viola (if you can get kids to help you then they have ownership of it and will eat even more of it
