Great Pasta salad for summer. Very easy and inexpensive.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 ounces rotini pasta (Barilla is best)
1 large tomato, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can black olives, drained and sliced
1 (8 ounce) bottle Kraft sun-dried tomato salad dressing
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Directions

1
Cook pasta according to directions, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
While pasta is cooking, chop tomato, peppers and onion into very small pieces. Add olives and mix.
3
Drain Rotini; rinse with cold water for about 3 minutes.
4
Mix pasta with tomato, peppers, onion and olives.
5
Refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour.
6
Add salad dressing; mix well.
7
Add Parmesan cheese; mix well.
8
Serve immediately.
9
If you have left overs, you will have to "re-wet" salad by adding a little more salad dressing the next day, especially if you substitute the dressing with a fat-free dressing.

Used Newman's Sundried Tomato Dressing because we couldn't find Kraft. Also used a combo of regular pasta and whole wheat pasta. This pasta salad was good. Deffinately better than some of the others I have tried lately. Thanks.

love it. My husband hates (used to!) pasta salad, but sometimes I crave it. Made this one, and I couldn't get him to stop eating it. Very good, thank you for sharing!

This was a great salad! I couldn't find any decent tomatoes, so I stuck w/the red and green bell peppers, and a red onion...also added chunks of cucumber, and whole olives since I wasn't sure if everyone liked olives (easier to pick out than sliced). I couldn't find the sun dried tomato dressing, so I used a reduced calorie Italian dressing. Thanks!

When I read this had sun-dried tomato salad dressing in it I knew I had to try it, because thats one of my favorite dressings. It was a wonderful tasting full of flavor salad! I did add a little feta cheese to it, but kept everything else the same. Thanks Bethany.
