Pasta Salad

A dear friend gave me this recipe many years ago and I've been making it ever since. It's great for barbecues.

Ingredients

• 1 pound tri-colored spiral pasta
• 6 tablespoons salad seasoning mix
• 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 (2.25 ounce) can black olives, chopped

Steps

1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente, rinse under cold water and drain.
2. Whisk together the salad spice mix and Italian dressing.
3. In a salad bowl, combine the pasta, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and olives. Pour dressing over salad; toss and refrigerate overnight.
