TRI-COLOR PASTA AND PEPPERONI SALAD
This pasta salad is always a hit at family picnics. I usually follow my recipe, but if I don't have the exact ingredients, it's very easy to substitute. Make it your own by using your favorite vegetables, canned beans, Italian salad dressing, meat and cheese. I've already made it using cheese tortellini in place of some of the pasta. HINT: keep extra Italian dressing on hand as the pasta will soak up most of the dressing when it sets overnight.
