I just made stringy pasta salad, as the niece-person calls it. Its your basic pasta salad, with olives, tomatoes, green onions, minced celery, artichoke hearts, and (usually)chunks of mozzarella. I used angel hair pasta noodles for the noodles, and substituted menonita cheese for the mozzarella. (Menonita is this really good Mexican cheese made by the Mennonite farmers down there. It's very mild and quite similar to mozzarella, just a slightly different texture and taste.). For the dressing, I used a homemade Italian dressing, where I substituted apple cider vinegar and EVOO. Not the official Rachael Ray EVOO because I like this other weird brand that I found at Sunflower better.
Soon as it's nice and cold, I'm gonna make some toast to eat with it...
