Pasta Salad

Description

This is my family's favorite pasta salad, and I'm always asked to make it for our holiday cookouts. All of the ingredient amounts are to taste, so feel free to add or subtract as desired. Prep time is time to boil pasta and chop all the ingredients, although a dicer/chopper significantly shortens the time. Also, we've found that preparing the night before enhances the flavor. Enjoy!

Cooking Time

Ingredients

Serves : 10-12
  • 1 pasta shells


  • 1 (24 ounce) bottle Italian dressing (we prefer Kraft Zesty Italian)


  • 1 green bell pepper


  • 1 red bell pepper


  • 3 pitted black olives


  • 2 tomatoes


  • 1 provolone cheese


  • 1lb hard salami, purchased in a block and cut into 1/2 inch squares

Directions

  • As soon as pasta is cooked, drained and rinsed, toss with 1/2 bottle of dressing so that pasta is well-coated and doesn't stick.
  • Add all remaining ingredients and toss.
  • Serve chilled.
