SUPREME PASTA SALAD

Supreme Pasta Salad image

An Italian pasta salad with meat, cheese, veggies. Try switching out different ingredients, I usually use what I have on hand, so the recipe changes a bit, but this is my favorite version. I like it better when the veggies are chopped small. It takes a long time to chop up the veggies, so sometimes I like to throw them in the food processor and pulse them a few times. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package al dente cooked pasta, chilled (I use tri-color rotini)
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup grape tomatoes
1 cup seedless cucumber, diced
1 cup green bell pepper, diced
1 cup carrot, diced
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, cubed OR
1 (8 ounce) package small marinated fresh mozzarella balls in oil (I use pearlini)
1 cup salami, cubed OR
1 cup pepperoni, cubed
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian dressing (I use Good Seasonings Zesty Italian Salad Dressing that I make myself with red wine vinegar and oliv)
1/4 cup McCormick Salad Supreme Seasoning

Steps:

Mix salad dressing with seasoning.
Place pasta, vegetables, cheese and meat in large salad bowl. Add dressing and seasoning; toss gently to coat.
Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or until ready to serve. (I ALWAYS refrigerate overnight-its better the next day.) Toss before serving.
(For the pasta, I cook to al dente, and rinse thoroughly with cold water to chill.).
