So one of my easy go to side dishes for any event and definitely easy to throw together for an addition to any meal while camping.
I’ve recently joined a community garden with some girlfriends and right now our parsley is growing like crazy and is so fresh so I added it.
Also if you are not making this while camping and instead at home, I highly recommend this pan from Ayesha Curry. The lock lid is a lifesaver!!
Ingredients:
- 1 box of pasta like rotini
- 1/2 to one bottle of Italian dressing
- Grape tomatoes
- 3-5 celery stalks
- 1 can of black olives
- Italian seasoning
- Celery salt
- Salt and pepper
- Parsley (optional)
- Cucumbers (optional)
Directions:
- Cook pasta according to package
- While pasta is cooking, chop celery and cut tomatoes into quarters
- Drain pasta
- Allow pasta to cool. Tip for camping – add to a large ziplock bag and add to cooler for quicker cooling
- Add pasta to a large bowl
- Add the tomatoes, celery, black olives and cucumber (if using)
- Add about 1/3 Italian dressing and a few shakes of all seasonings. Mix well and continue to add more – testing periodically until you have the amount of dressing and seasoning that you like
- Top with chopped parsley
