gfrancietonight I made chicken ceaser salad and a pasta salad for dinner. It was sort of a free for all this evening.
my recipe for pasta salad.
pick the pasta of your choice I did a rainbow rotini, because the colours look nice and it cooks quickly.
cook a package of that, drain it properly and let it cool a bit.
THEN (here is the fun part)
you make a vinagrette of basil, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper mix it up neatly, pour it over the pasta, mix well so the pasta is coated. then you put in olives. I often use black olives because it isn't too scary, some people find greek olives too rich, but I am fond of them, then you add chopped green onion, sliced red bell pepper, and thinly sliced pieces of hard salami (no jokes gentlemen, you know who you are) and voila a simple salad that has a nice flavor and lots of things to pick out and say, "ewww why did you put that in there" because you are ungrateful brats that is why.
so, everything is okay. I have the money I need, I have lost two pounds, and I made some lovely things for dinner. Now if I can convince the puppy that she can't crawl into my bed to sleep.
