INSTRUCTIONS
The Cook and Kitchen Staff are continuing to offer you recipes from our
"Back-to-School" collection. Today's recipe is a particularly festive mix
of textures and flavors that produce a hearty cold meal or eye-appealing
side dish.
It's great with a sandwich or a little leftover pizza. Your away-from-home
student will most likely prepare it with zeal, as it stores well
refrigerated for up to five days.
Prepare pasta as directed on package. Drain and rinse well with cold water.
In a large mixing bowl combine pasta with turkey or beef, Mozzarella
cheese, red onion, green pepper, ripe olives, and Italian salad dressing.
Cover and refrigerate 1 hour, and serve cold.
Kitchen Staff Tips: This salad recipe may be prepared with any type of
pasta; just make sure to break it or cut it into bite-size portions before
cooking. A fresh spinach linguini is fantastic, as well as standard elbow
macaroni or bow tie pasta. It takes on a completely different character
when prepared with broken Ramen noodles. The fun is to experiment, and
enjoy preparing it. If desired, sprinkle your portion for serving with a
little Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper, just prior to
serving.
