Taste of Tuesday: Pasta Salad

**We will be taking a little break from Taste of Tuesday starting next week.  Ash and I both have a lot going on in our lives and need some time to focus on those things.  We're planning to start it again at some point when our lives are a little calmer.  Thanks for understanding.**

Ingredients:

- Pasta (I used elbow macaroni)

- 1 medium purple onion, chopped fine

- Olives, sliced

- Italian dressing

- Serrano peppers, chopped

- Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

- Cook the pasta according to the package, drain and let cool

- Chop the onion and jalapeños 

- Slice the olives

- Once the pasta has cooled, add in the Italian dressing to lightly coat the pasta (depends on amount of pasta used)

- Mix in onions, peppers and olives.

- Add salt and pepper to taste

- Mix well and refrigerate 

- Enjoy!
