Ingredients

 
12 ounces uncooked rainbow rotini (You may choose any salad-size pasta, such as macaroni, bowties, shells, ziti, etc.)
 
1 tablespoon salt
 
2 tablespoons fresh chopped curly parsley (You may use flat-leaf parsley instead.)
 
½ of a small purple (red) onion, thinly sliced. (Cut the slices into arcs, if necessary, to make them fork-friendly.)
 
2 ½ ounces crumbled feta cheese (You may substitute blue cheese instead.)
 
¾ cup bottled Italian salad dressing
 
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

In a large pot, bring about 2 inches of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 12 ounces of rainbow rotini pasta. Cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Drain through a colander, and then rinse with cold water, so that the cooked pasta is evenly cooled. Add 2 tablespoons chopped curly parsley, ½ purple onion (cut into thin rings), 2 ½ ounces crumbled feta cheese, ¾ cup bottled Italian salad dressing, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. Fold salad gently, until completely combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours for best flavor. Spoon onto salad plates or small salad bowls, when ready to serve.
