Description

This shrimp macaroni salad recipe includes tri-color pasta, olives, cherry tomatoes, and green onions, and is coated in a zesty lemon-garlic vinaigrette.

Ingredients

• 1 pound tri-color pasta

• 1 pound cooked and peeled medium shrimp

• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

• 3 green onions, sliced

• 1/2 cup sliced pitted green olives

• 1 cup lemon juice

• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse.

2 Combine rotini, shrimp, tomatoes, green onions, and olives in a large serving bowl.

3 Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until well combined; pour over salad and toss. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 4 hours.
