Pepperoni Pasta Salad

16 oz pasta

3 C. cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 lb mozarella cheese, cubed

1/2 lb salami

1/4 lb pepperoni

1 can olives, halved

green onions

1 (8oz) bottle Italian Dressing

parmesan cheese

Cook pasta and rinse under cool water. Mix everything else together and serve cold. I like to buy a more expensive brand of Italian Dressing just to make it taste better! (like one that has big chunks of parmesan cheese in it!)

I like this recipe because: It doesn't have a bunch of weird ingredients and my kids will eat it.

My least favorite thing: Cherry tomatoes are expensive!

Ranch Dressing (THE BEST!)

This is better than the resturaunt stuff.

2 cups mayo

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

1 1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 teaspoon accent

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

1 1/2 teaspoon onion flakes

Whisk and chill before serving.

I like this recipe because: It is SO much better than store bought ranch!!

My least favorite thing about this recipe: I rarely have buttermilk lying around to make it.

Greek Salad

2 1/2 cups baby spinach leaves

1/3 red onion

1/4 cup olives

1/2 cup peas

2 ounces feta cheese

2 roma tomatoes

Kraft Greek Dressing

Cut it all up, mix it, and eat! I hardly ever actually measure out these ingredients. I just throw in whatever looks good!

I like this recipe because: The feta cheese is different and adds a nice kick.

My least favorite thing about this recipe is: The dressing can be super zesty if you add to much.
