Pasta Salad

Sounds vague right? Well, this is sometimes called Italian Pasta Salad. It has many variations and is a great summer salad, either as a meal itself or as a side.

Ingredients:

2 cups Garden Rotini Pasta
1 cucumber
1 each green, red, yellow, orange small sweet bell peppers (more or less to taste, all green works too.)
1/2 can chopped large black olives
1 diced tomatoes (I usually leave these out, but if you like tomatoes they are a great addition)
1/2 cup Italian dressing (zesty Italian is nice too, add more or less to taste)

Directions:

Boil pasta until tender, drain, rinse in cold water and place in fridge to chill. Dice all veggies, I like to peel my cucumbers- but it is not vital, add veggies to noodles and stir.  Add dressing and stir. Chill for a few minutes before serving.
