Serves 6 - 8 (I cut the recipe down for you ladies - I normally use double or triple these amounts)

8 oz. rotini (spiral pasta) cooked according to directions on package, drained well and rinsed in water
2 -3 tomatoes, sliced thin (or use 1 cup of cherry
tomatoes halved)
1 red onion, sliced thin
1 small can black olives, drained
1 1/2 cups cooked broccoli florets
1 small green or red pepper, sliced thin
1 - 2 carrots, scrubbed and sliced thin
1 cup cubed mozzarella cheese
1 cup sliced pepperoni, sliced thin or cut into small cubes
2 cups Italian dressing (it soaks it up, so you may want to add more later on - best with Good Seasons dressing mix but lately I make it with Just2Good or LightDoneRight dressings)

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, cover and chill. Mix again before serving. This is much better prepared a day ahead and you may want to add extra Ital. dressing before serving.

Sounds good, I'm going to make that for our next outing. My favorite Italian is Newmans Own Family Recipe. Very, very tasty!

Now that does sound good freebeex3 I don't care lots for bacon but the cauliflower and cheddar would be great additions. My dad ONLY uses Newman's Own dressings and sauces. I find them a bit pricey, but they are good. Sometimes I make my own dressing, using oil, vinegar and seasonings, too.
