Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb cooked pasta (I like using penne or any type of spiral pasta)
  • 10 tablespoon pesto
  • 1 cup Italian salad dressing (I used Kraft)
  • 1 1/4 cups purple onion (diced)
  • 1 1/2 cups quartered & sliced English cucumber
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomato halves
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese (cubed)

Instruction

  • Boil pasta according to package directions.
  • Drain and rinse with cold water. Allow to completely cool to room temperature.
  • In a mason jar add Italian salad dressing and pesto - screw on mason jar lid and vigorously shake to combine dressing and pesto.
  • In a large salad bowl add pasta, dressing, onion, cucumber, tomato, and cheese. Toss to combine. Cover and chill for an hour and serve.
  • This is a great side dish to make the day before.
