This pasta salad recipe was given to me by a dear friend many years ago, and I've been making it ever since! It's great for barbecues.
Ingredients
1 pound tri-colored spiral pasta
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
6 tablespoons salad seasoning mix
2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 (2.25 ounce) can black olives, chopped
Directions
Gather all ingredients.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 to 12 minutes; rinse under cold water and drain.
Whisk Italian dressing and salad spice mix together until smooth. Combine pasta, tomatoes, bell peppers, and olives in a salad bowl.
