Simple Pasta Salad
alt.creative-cooking/Brian M. Moore (2002)

Here's a simple Pasta salad:

Make the pasta, I use bow tie.
Cool the pasta.

Add cut up tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc., whatever you have and like.

Add cheese, I use mozzarella and parmesan, but pepper jack is also good.

Add Italian dressing to taste.

Crushed walnuts add a nice taste, but as they stain the pasta, you may want to only add them at the last minute.

You can also add meats, like ham or salami.

This whole thing is quick.
