Eighteen years ago she served this most delicious pasta salad at her wedding reception. Yes, after the rehearsal dinner, she and her hubby-to-be were in the kitchen cooking for their guests on their big day. Some things never change. She and her hubby still have a heart for serving friends and family with the best food ever! CONGRATULATIONS!
Auntie Laura's Wedding Pasta Salad
2 12oz. packages Garden Spirals Pasta
1 jar of green olives
1 5oz. container of Feta cheese
1 jar or can of artichoke hearts, cut into smaller chunks
1 pint baby grape tomatoes, sliced into half
1 16 oz. bottle of Italian dressing {I LOVE Newman's Own Parmesan & Roasted Garlic!}
1/2 of 1 small red onion, finely chopped
Directions:
*Cook noodles according to package directions. Please make sure they are done. Crunchy noodles are not okay in this salad. :}
*Drain noodles and rinse with cold water til they are no longer steaming.
*Place noodles in a large serving bowl.
*Add olives, cheese, artichokes, tomatoes and just about half of the dressing.
*Right before serving: Add the red onion and more dressing to your liking!
Serve with cold lemonade and crusty bread. This is perfect for sharing with friends or neighbors because it makes a lot!
ENJOY!
