Pasta Salad

  • 1-2 oz. sun-dried tomatoes, reconstituted (maybe 10 halves or so?)
  • 3 oz. mozzarella cheese, diced (1/2" dice or so)
  • 1 head broccoli, pieced and blanched (I steam it for around 2 or 3 minutes)
  • 3 oz. pitted olives (whatever kind you like!)
  • 1/4 c. red onion, minced
  • 3/4 - 1 lb. pasta, cooked (I used rotelle)
  • [recipe=37]Pasta Salad Dressing[/recipe]

Put the cheese in the dressing overnight to marinade. Put the sundried tomatoes in a few tablespoons of olive oil.

Mix it all together when you are ready to eat -- it will probably need a few more tablespoones of both olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and maybe a shake of salt or lemon juice or black pepper to liven it up.
