Ingredients
- 2 Boxes Better Crocker Suddenly Salad, class recipe
- 5 Tablespoons EVOO, divided
- 8 Tablespoons of water, divided
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper,chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
- 14 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup giardiniera, drained (I used hot)
- 1/2 roasted red peppers, in a jar, chopped
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes, drained and liquid reserved, chopped
- 8 ounces mozzarella pearls
- 4 ounces salami, diced
- 3 Tablespoons of oil from sun dried tomatoes
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pot, start by boiling 1 1/3 cups of water. Add your pasta, from the Suddenly Salad box, and gently boil until noodles are cooked. About 10 minutes. When the noodles are done cooking, drain but don't rinse, and place into a large bowl.
- While the pasta is cooking, combine seasoning packets from Suddenly Salad with 4 Tablespoons of EVOO and 6 tablespoons of water. Set aside.
- Combine ingredients from yellow pepper through salami to large bowl with the noodles. Pour the seasoning packet mix and toss to combine. Add sun dried tomato oil and 2 tablespoons of water. If mixture seems dry, add 1 tablespoon of EVOO. (I did end up adding this to mine)
- Chill for at least 2 hours to give the flavors time to meld.
