Meterranean Pasta Salad

I wanted this salad to be high on fruits and vegetables and is actually meatless, although you could easily add pan fried chicken strips. The fruits and veggies can be changed as desired.

  • 12 oz. box of Vegetable Trio Rotini, Rotini Tricolore
  • 1 large cucumber, peeled, chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 or 2 tomatoes chopped
  • 6 to 8 eggs boiled, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup or more mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 3 or 4 green onions chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • salt and pepper
Cook pasta according to package directions, strain and cool. When cooled add some mayonnaise to prevent the pasta sticking to each other. Add all the other ingredients, making sure they are well mixed in.
