GF Italian Pasta Salad

So with all of the summer grill outs, parties, etc. sometimes it's hard to find something healthy and light to eat. One of my new favorite sides to bring is this Gluten-Free Italian Pasta Salad! It's also really REALLY easy to pack on trips, and requires no heating. This recipe makes a bunch of pasta salad though, so if you're just making it for a trip, I suggest halving the recipe.

You will need:

1 box gluten-free Rotini pasta (prepared by box instructions; I like Barilla brand)

1 large red bell pepper; diced

1 c. grape tomatoes, halved

1/2 c. green olives, sliced

1/2 red onion, sliced

1 crown broccoli; chopped

1/2 c. Italian Dressing (I like Primal Kitchen)

3/4 c. fresh shredded cheese

Fresh pepper to taste

Just add all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and mix together well. Enjoy!
