Pasta Salad, yes I cook!

So, I had some pasta salad from a pizza place awhile back that was awesome!!!  so, I decided to make one of my own with my own touch of course.  And since I did not have their recipe I had to make one of my own that was close enough.  Just let me tell ya, it was AWESOME. 

So, here is the recipe. 
1 box of rotini rainbow pasta, cooked.
A handful or two of raw spinach leaves. Just use how much you want.
3 or 4 slices of red onion cut in fourths. Also do this to your taste. 
I use a mix of parmesan, romano and asiago cheese.  I bought the kind that is shaved and not grated just because I really love it.
A few grape tomatoes cut in half
and the key...a bottle of Zesty Italian dressing. 
Now there is not right or wrong way to put this together or measure.  It is all to taste.  If you want more spinach leaves put them in..or if you really really like a lot of onion add some more...etc etc..
The dressing, I used a good half of the bottle.  I bought just a normal size bottle of dressing.  So, it is all about your taste.  Just let me tell you that I love it!!  So, try it and let me know what you think.
