I should eat more salads, so I googled salad recipes, and it was horrible.  Every recipe is 1500 fresh and zesty words.  I couldn’t take it, so threw this together with what I could find at Aldi.  It worked out.

None of the quantities are critical. 

  • A cup of radiatori pasta, cooked al dente. 
  • A green pepper, minced. 
  • A crown of broccoli, cut small.
  • An 8 oz bag of cheddar, with cubes cut in half.
  • Zesty Italian dressing, as much as you like.

If you shop at a more comprehensive grocery store, mozzarella pearls would be better.  If you have a bigger Tupperware container, cherry tomatoes would look and taste good.  It makes about a quart.
