Italian Pasta Salad

So with the Forth of July upon us, I am again busy making salads for our big party down by the river.  I thought I would share this one with you...

  • 1 box of penne pasta
  • 3 Roma tomatoes seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup chopped English cucumbers
  • 1 small sweet or red onion diced fine
  • 1clove garlic mince
  • 1/2 cup chopped black olives
  • 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella diced
  • 2 Tbs fresh chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup Italian dressing
Cook pasta aldente in salted water.  Combine all ingredients together and toss. Chill for at least one hour or overnight.  The longer this pasta sits the more the better it taste!
