Zesty Rotini Salad image

The key word in this recipe is ZESTY! Serves well with any kind of meal, or by itself as a salad for lunch. I add cottage cheese on the side of the dish. Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top is a nice addition, as well. Add zesty Italian salad dressing to taste. For large amounts, don't be surprised if you use an entire large bottle!

This salad is way too expensive. You can get the same ingredients for much cheaper at the grocery store.

This recipe seems a bit bland. I think it could use some more herbs or spices.

I'm not usually a fan of rotini salads, but this one changed my mind. The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the vegetables are crisp and fresh.
