Ingredients
- 8 oz rotini cooked according to package instructions
- ½ cup red bell pepper diced
- 10 oz 3 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ English cucumber diced
- ½ cup sliced black olives
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese balls cut in half
- ½ cup red onion diced
- 8 oz salami cut in strips
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1 cup Italian dressing
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large serving bowl.
- Drizzle with Italian dressing and toss salad until evenly coated.
Notes
- Don't overcook or undercook the pasta. It should be taken out of the pot when it is al dente as it will continue to cook after it is drained.
- Cook the pasta in salted water so that you start to season the dish right from the start.
- Cut the vegetables into small pieces so that they mix well with the other ingredients and are easy to eat.
- Allow the Italian pasta salad to sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop.
