My mother mentioned that sometimes she adds 2 tablespoons of flat leaf parsley, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and that she doesn't add the pepper till she is ready to eat it. I don't do any of that.

Cucumber, Tomato and Pasta Salad image

Provided by KyAmy

Time 20m

Yield 6 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups tri-color spiral pasta, uncooked
10 -15 cherry tomatoes, cut into halves
2 -4 tablespoons black olives, canned sliced
1 large cucumber, sliced and quartered (peel, if desired)
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup Italian dressing
1 tablespoon almonds, sliced (optional)

Steps:

Cook rotini as directed on package to al dante; Drain and run pasta under cold water.
Drizzle italian dressing over pasta, mixing slowly so as not to break apart the pasta pieces. Add in tomatoes, black olives, cucumber, and 5 tablespoons of the feta cheese. Continue mixing ingredients until well-coated.
Sprinkle remaining feta cheese over pasta mixture and top with almonds. (Instead of almonds I've used Melissa's Salad Sprinkles. This could not be located in RecipeZaar as a recognized ingredient but I wanted to record it in the directions as another option for a salad topper.).
NOTE: If you don't care for feta cheese, try using Parmesan cheese instead. It tastes just as good and gives the salad a somewhat different flavor. Use only four to five tablespoons instead and mix in as given above.
