Cooking Steps
- Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water over high heat. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
- While the pasta cools, chop the cucumbers, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the olives, and finely chop the parsley.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled rotini pasta with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, olives, and parsley. Drizzle in the Italian dressing and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add more dressing if desired.
- Scoop the pasta salad mixture into individual cups, focusing on a balance of pasta and veggies.
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
