Penne Pasta Salad Recipe

• Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and place into a large bowl.
• While the pasta is cooking, prepare the salad dressing according to the package directions and pour over the warm, drained pasta. Let the pasta cool before adding the remaining ingredients.
• Add the drained capers, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped reconstituted sun dried tomatoes. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours so that the flavors of the ingredients blend together.
• Just before serving, add the tomatoes.

Substitution: Instead of using capers, you can use chopped Kalamata olives.

Optional: To use this salad as an entrée, add one chicken breast per person.

Optional: Use cherry tomatoes instead of chopped large tomatoes.

Note: This recipe doubles and triples easily.
