I have been making this salad for my family for years! It is a meal by itself with lots of great healthy vegetables and a light Greek salad dressing. It is a big hit at all picnics and BBQs.

Ingredients:

1 box tri-color rotini
1/2 cup celery, chopped fine
1 seedless English cucumber, peeled and diced
2 small red & green peppers, sliced, and chopped fine
2 - 3 plum (Roma) tomatoes, diced
2 Tbsp red onion, diced
1 medium carrot, grated over the bowl
1 small piece broccoli, cutting into very small flowerettes
1 small can sliced black olives, drained
1 small jar stuffed green olives
1 pkg (6oz) crumbled feta cheese
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
fresh basil, chopped
14. Greek salad dressing

Steps:

Start by cooking the pasta until done, drain and run under cold water. Set aside.

Cut and chop all your vegetables and put them in a large bowl. Into the bowl, add the olives and cooked, cooled pasta. Stir wèll. Stir again just before serving.

I have added deli cubes ham and cheese and it is more like an Antipasto! This picture dish last along time due to using a lite salad-dressing. As you can see, I added seasoned strips of chicken breasts on top of my salad. You can basically put anything on this salad or eat it just the way it is!
