Classic Italian Pasta Salad

Everyone does this salad...'cause it's good!

Here's my version - heavy on the veg ;0)

1-1/2 boxes pasta* (tri-color fiori & rotini)

carrots

red onion

cucumber

celery

tomatoes - roma or grape

broccoli

red, yellow or orange pepper

black olives

cheese - feta, provolone or mozzarella

pepperoni

Italian dressing

(my all-time fav is the make-your-own Good Seasons All Natural Italian pkt

but I also like Bernstein's in a pinch)

_

Dress all ingredients, toss well and marinate in fridge 4 hours or overnight.

*This is also fantastic made with cooked cheese tortellini in place of the other pasta.
