Harper Seven Pasta Salad


We all saw pictures of a pregnant Victoria Beckham and died. The only place THIS lucky lady put on the pounds was in her belly!! WHAT DOES SHE EAT???

Anyway-

The latest addition to the Beckham's clan is Harper Seven, the couples first little girl. People magazine is reporting that the name Harper is always one Victoria loved.

Now, what about the "Seven?" We have seen the numerical trend with kiddies (Aleph Portman,) but why is Seven the chosen number?

Apparently seven is a very spiritual, and on the back of daddy's soccer jersey.

Today, for Harper Seven I wanted to create a dish with 7 ingredients.

Harper Seven Pasta Salad

You will need:
1 bag frozen plain cheese raviolis
1 can black olives
1 large white onion
2 packs cherry tomatoes
store bought balsamic dressing
2 red pepers sliced and chopped
fresh ground pepper

Follow the directions on the ravioli package. Cook, cool, and set aside.
Drain the can of black olives, and wash the cherry tomatoes. Add them to a large bowl.
Slice the white onion. Once you get a slice- cut into 4's. This makes the perfect sized pieces!

Slice the red peppers thin, and cut in half. Add the peppers, and onions to the large bowl. Toss in the raviolis , and use your hands to mix. Add the balsamic dressing little by little. You want to remember that you can always add more dressing. It is waaaaay harder to get rid of excess!

Toss everything together and grind fresh pepper on top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. When it is ready to be served, toss again and add more dressing.

This pasta salad has 7 ingredients, but your friends will think it's a 10!
