Lemon Parmesan Pasta Salad

If you need an easy summer side dish, this Lemon Parmesan pasta salad is for you! It has simple ingredients and is so easy to pull together. The flavors are bright – perfect for summer!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound rotini pasta
  • 1 cup Italian dressing
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta according to package instructions (10 to 11 minutes). Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool it off. Be sure to drain it really well.
  2. Mix the dressing, lemon juice, cheese, parsley, and seasonings in a large bowl. Add the pasta and stir to coat it in the dressing.
  3. You serve it right away, but chilling it for a couple of hours will allow the flavors to develop. Give it a good stir before serving it after it's been stored.
