Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vibrant Rainbow Pasta Salad.
Step 1
Start by bringing a generous pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, add the vibrant tri-colored pasta and cook it until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the pasta and give it a refreshing rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down.
Step 4
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, crisp cucumber, and finely chopped red onion with the cooled pasta.
Step 5
Drizzle in the zesty Italian dressing and gently toss everything together until every ingredient is beautifully coated.
Step 6
For the best flavor experience, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or even overnight, allowing the ingredients to harmonize and create a delightful medley of tastes.
Step 7
Enjoy this colorful pasta salad as a refreshing side or a light meal that’s sure to impress!.
