BEEF AND PASTA SALAD

Have you started your new year's diet yet? You can ease into by trying this substantial salad recipe. I say substantial because it has meat protein in it.

This one is really good! I think its the dressing that does it. Nothing special, but I always go back for seconds. Then again, maybe its the cherry tomatoes.

BEEF AND PASTA SALAD
  • 3 cups rotini, cooked and drained
  • 1 lb. boneless stir-fry beef strips
  • 2 tsp. instant beef bouillon
    2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup bottled Italian salad dressing
  • 6 oz. Provolone cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 large green bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 cup cherry tomato halves
  • ½ cup sliced pitted ripe olives
  • Grated Parmesan cheese


In large skillet, brown meat and 1 tsp. bouillon in oil and remove from skillet.

In large bowl, combine meat, rotini, salad dressing and remaining 1 tsp. bouillon.

Let stand 15 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients except Parmesan cheese; mix well.

Cover and chill. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

Appreciate your time,
