Italian Pasta Salad

By bklynmommy

Ingredients

• 1 lb of angel hair pasta
• 1/2 green pepper (can use more)
• 1/2 red pepper (can use more)
• 1 cup broccoli & cauliflower, diced into tiny pieces
• 1-2 green onions
• 1/2 medium tomato (can use more)
• 1 (16 oz) bottle of Zesty Italian dressing or more if you like it ZEEEESTAAAAY!!! (but I wouldn't add more until you taste it the next day since the flavors will intensify overnight)
• 1/4 cup of black olives, diced
• Chopped pepperoni (I used turkey pepperoni), can also used chopped ham.
• *Optional ingredients: I like to kick this recipe up sometimes by adding in minced garlic, mild cheddar, cold peas or cucumbers. Experiement with it and make it your own!

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1.) Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Step 2.) Cook the angel hair pasta until al dente. This only take a few minutes so watch it carefully. The last thing you want is overcooked noodles.
Step 3.) Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water.
Step 4.) Chop up the green pepper, red pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, green onion, olives, & pepperoni into tiny minced pieces. You want the pieces to be really tiny.
Step 5.) Pour the bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing over the cold noodles and toss to coat.
Step 6.) Add in the chopped ingredients and toss to combine.
Step 7.) Refrigerate until super cold.
Step 8.) Serve. Be sure to toss before serving since the dressing and ingredients can settle on the bottom.
