Cream Cheese Pasta Salad

Step 1

Set cream cheese out on the counter and allow it to come to room temperature. This will make it easier to mix the cream cheese into the dressing.

Step 2

Boil a large pot of salted water, and cook pasta according to package. Drain and rinse noodles under cold water to stop them cooking. Set aside.

Step 3

Dice the cucumber and tomatoes, slice the peppers into fine bite-sized ribbons, chop the carrots and olives, and add all veggies to a bowl.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, add the Italian dressing, lemon juice, oregano, and cream cheese. Mix well until cream cheese has blended into the dressing, and all ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Pour cream cheese dressing over the pasta salad. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
