This post is sponsored by Kraft. As a member of the Mom It Forward Team, I was sent a bottle of Kraft’s Zesty Italian Dressing. All opinions are 100% my own.
This creamy pasta salad is a family favorite! And just as with any pasta salad, it is easy to prepare and you can throw whatever ingredients in you love and have on hand.
Here is how I usually make it:
Ingredients:
Colored Rotini Pasta (cooked according to package directions and cooled completely!)
Creamy Caesar Dressing
Sliced olives
Tomatoes (diced)
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
Add cooled pasta, olives and tomatoes a big salad bowl. Mix in the Italian and Caesar dressings (equal parts of each) and add it to the salad bowl until the pasta is as wet as you’d like it. Mix well and then add your shredded cheese. Serve or refrigerate immediately.
Enjoy!

I zest up my life by being spontaneous and trying new things. I’m always looking for an opportunity to help someone, do good deeds, and just simply be a blessing in some way. I never want or need “payment” for being kind because I recieve the good feelings and blessings twofold in days to come.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone just tried to be kind to each other in every way and rid the world of hatred and meanness?
by traveling as much as I can

My children zest up my life with quirky and witty comments. My husband zests up my life with tenderness. I zest up my own life by loving my husband and children with complete abandonment.

I like to take broccoli and cauliflower cut into bite size pieces and add Kraft Zesty Italian to them and let sit for approximately an hour. It taste really good. Good summer side dish.
I LOVE this recipe! It is so easy and looks delicious. I can’t wait to try it.
I will have to give this pasta salad a shot. We have many cookouts ahead of us, and I need a good go-to side dish! Thanks for sharing!
