Easy Italian Pasta Salad image

Simple to make and good to eat a coworker at work use to make it all the time without vegetables. there was never any left. One thing I found with this basic recipe that you can be creative adding meat, croutons, diffrent vegatbles like tomatoes and squash. I think that is why I like it so much you can change it each time you make it.
