Multicolor Pasta
I bought a box of whole grain multicolor pasta, and cooked it according to the direction. While the pasta was cooking, I cleaned about 1/2 pound of the shrimp, and quickly dropped them in hot water until they turned color. Take them out and allow them to sit at room temperature.
Black Olives, and Celery pieces
While waiting for both pasta and shrimp to cool off, I cut up some celery and cucumber into bite size piece. Then I cut the shrimp into half, lengthwise. Substitute shrimp with chicken or your choice of meat if you are not a seafood lover.
Combine Pasta, Cooked Shrimps, Black Olives, and Celery Pieces
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, and top with black olives! As far as vegetables go, the choice is endless, or whatever is available in your refrigerator! Before serving, pour in your favorite salad dressing and toss gently.
that looks yummy, I would like some please. It's a great way to get those veggies in.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like too hot in yours. Japan too.
ReplyDeleteI think your dish is good idea so I will try to cook it.
We Japanese like to eat thin wheat noodles called Somen during hot summer.
Stay cool. Have a nice weekend!
can I have some? I love shrimp, and salad, and so good to have them both :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great meal. I too believe wholeheartedly in simple meals and LOTS of salads during the hot days of summer.
ReplyDeleteIt has been unusually cold here in Australia so I am quite looking forward to some warm weather! When it does get warm I will be making lots of salads so will definitely try this one-thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Natasha.

ReplyDeleteLooks great, Miss Icy, and it would work well with scallops, calamari or mixed seafood. I'd add arugula to mine as that is one of my favorite things in the world!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely fantastic. I love pasta salad!
