SUMMER PASTA SALAD 
2 boxes Rotini pasta
1 stick pepperoni
1 stick salami
grape tomatoes
3 large cucumbers
1 block favorite cheese (i use Vermont cheddar)
2 cans black olives
2 bottles favorite Italian Dressing

Cook the pasta as directed then run under cold water to cool off and rinse starch from pasta. Cut up all veggies, meats, and cheeses and set aside.

Once the pasta is done, I put half of it in the bowl I will be serving it in then add all other ingredients minus 1 bottle of Italian dressing. Add rest of pasta on top and stir together. This ensures that all the ingredients will be mixed evenly.

Add second bottle of Italian dressing depending on the amount of dressing desired. If not serving immediately, then I would recommend saving the second bottle for adding just before serving.

It is best to chill this salad for at least one hour prior to serving; perfect for making ahead of time!
