Garden Pasta Salad

Did you know that a watched pepper never ripens. And I thought that only applied to pots of water.


List of Ingredients




Garden Pasta Salad

Ingredients:
2 cups pasta of your choice
1 cup Italian or Caesar dressing
1 cup cubed mozzarella or provolone cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
3/4 cup mushrooms
1/2 red onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped smoked ham
1 firm fresh tomato

Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and rinse
in cold water. Set aside. Cube the ham into medium
size cubes. Chop the green pepper. Mushrooms need
to be rinsed if canned, or washed and sliced if fresh.
Seed and chop the tomato. The red onion should be
sliced then cut in half again for smaller pieces. The
cheese should be cubed very small. Place the
vegetables and meat in a bowl with the pasta, add
both cheeses, pour the dressing over and gently mix
with a wooden spoon. Note: If you ask at the deli
counter they will give you a section of ham by weight,
instead of slices. This recipe should take only about
1/2 pound. You can then chop it at home. You may
substitute chicken, turkey or pepperoni.
