Instructions

Keeps your screen on and lets you check off steps as you go.

1
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water.
2
Add pasta to a large mixing bowl along with the vegetables (tomatoes, red onion, olives and green onion). Stir in mayo, vinegar, parsley, maple syrup, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Taste and adjust flavors to your liking.
3
You can serve this immediately at room temperature. For best results I like to store covered in the refrigerator for a couple hours so the flavors can marinate and the pasta salad can be served chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to five days.
