If you are having company over for Mother’s Day here are a couple of salad recipes you might want to serve. The Pasta salad makes a lot. I hope if you are a Mother you get the day off and someone else does the cooking.
Pasta Salad
3 cups Rotini rainbow pasta, cooked, drained and cooled
1 (6-oz.) can ripe olives, sliced and drained
1 (6-oz.) jar salad olives (sliced green olives w/ pimento), drained
