Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces rotini pasta (Barilla is best)
1 large tomatoes, 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

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While pasta is cooking, chop tomato, peppers and onion into very small pieces. Add olives and mix.
  • Drain Rotini; rinse with cold water for about 3 minutes.
  • Mix pasta with tomato, peppers, onion and olives.
  • Refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour.
  • Add salad dressing; mix well.
  • Add Parmesan cheese; mix well.
  • Serve immediately.
  • 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.
