Ingredients
- One package of colorful tri-color pasta weighing 16 ounces
- Diced 6 large cucumbers
- Chopped 2 green bell peppers
- Chopped 5 banana peppers
- Chopped 4 fresh jalapeno peppers
- Cubes of Colby cheese amounting to 1 pound
- Two bottles of reduced-fat zesty Italian-style salad dressing each weighing 16 ounces
Step 1
Begin by getting a big pot filled with lightly salted water to a bubbling boil. Cook the pasta in the vigorously boiling water until it reaches a tender yet slightly firm texture, typically around 8 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and give it a refreshing rinse under cold water until it cools down completely.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine an assortment of fresh cucumbers, vibrant green bell peppers, zesty banana peppers, spicy jalapenos, flavorful Colby cheese, and tangy Italian-style salad dressing. Add the cooled pasta into the bowl and gently toss everything together until the pasta is thoroughly coated with the delicious dressing.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your ingredients fresh by storing your veggies in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. This will ensure they stay crisp and retain their vibrant colors.
- 2. To prevent your pasta from sticking together, store it in an airtight container with a drizzle of olive oil. This will keep it from drying out and clumping.
