I can't remember where I picked up this recipe but it is a nice filling salad. It makes a wonderful meal all by itself with some crusty bread or makes a great carry in dish for summer gatherings.
Ultimate Pasta Salad
1 (16 oz) package of tri colored spiral pasta
1 head of brocoli cut into bite sized pieces
1 head of cauliflower cut into bite sized pieces
1 red onion chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
8 ounces of pepperoni (cut into quarters)
1 (8 oz) package of mozzarella cheese cut into cubes
1 (8oz) can black olives (pitted of course)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
salt and pepper
Italian Seasoning to taste
Cook pasta, drain, chill for one hour. Toss all ingredients together and chill for an additional hour.
****You can substitute cherry tomatoes for the brocolli/cauliflower if you prefer. I have also used bottled Italian dressing instead of oil, vinegar, and seasoning.
