Best Pasta Salad I Have Ever Made.....

That is a huge title to live up to because I have made a LOT of pasta salads, but this one had the whole family LOVING IT!!! And if that wasn't enough it was super simple to make.

Here is what I did....
Marys Best Pasta Salad
1 lb Penni Pasta (or what ever pasta you have on hand)
1 green bell pepper 1/2 inch chop
1 red bell pepper 1/2 inch chop
1/2 red onion chopped
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts (dump in the whole thing juice and all)
1 large avocado 1/2 inch dice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Cook pasta and drain. Put everything in a bowl and dress with your favorite Italian dressing or use this one...
Let it cool for a while and enjoy!!!

Our House Dressing:
2 T. Ketchup
3/4 c. Vegetable Oil
3 T. Vinegar
2 T. Sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 t. poppy seeds

put it all in a jar and shake shake shake..... ( tell me your not singing that song???)
