This is my poor-man's meal. I always have the ingredients around so it's a quick light meal. I generally make this in the summer when it's to hot to do anything. The concept though is due to the Marco Polo salad I used to get from Marshall Field's. There is no real recipe but I will break it down as best I can. It's great to prep for summer pot-lucks or BBQ's.
box of pasta (macaroni, rotini, or spaghetti) cooked
half of a red, green, yellow, and orange pepper diced
1/4C of your favorite Italian dressing
half of a red onion dice
2-3 tbsp of minced garlic
oregano, parsley, basil to taste
You just combine everything in a large bowl and chill before serving.
Add crumbles of feta cheese, broccoli florets, or olives if you like. If you don't want to use the Italian dressing a use olive oil in its place.
