Steps:
- Cook pasta with salt according to package instructions. DO NOT OVERCOOK Once cooked, drain and run cold water over it. Place in large salad bowl.
- Stripe cucumbers with a fork (Place fork on end of cucumber and slide it down the length) then slice into discs
- Cut roma tomatoes into bite sizes Roma tomatoes have the best flavor. If you can't find Roma tomatoes then use cherry tomatoes and cut in half)
- Use only the florets of the broccoli and some of the stem Pull apart if big clusters.
- Place, broccoli, tomatoes, olives(drained), cucumbers in a with the pasta.
- Dust the salad with Salad Herbs or Tarragon ( NOT SALAD SEASONING) and Lemon Pepper. These spices give the salad a distinct flavoring.
- Use 2/3 of the bottle of Italian dressing. That way the pasta and veggies absorb the flavor. Refridgerate. Just before serving add remainder of dressing and stir.
- *TIP: You can also add small Pepperoni slices (Optional)
