1-lb. linguine noodles, cooked as directed and drained
1/2 lb.(block) mozzarella cheese, cut in 1-in. cubes
1/2 lb. (block) Provolone cheese, cut in 1-in. cubes
2 smalls jars green olives, drained
2 small black olives, drained
1 can chickpeas, drained
1 seedless chef cucumber, cut in 1-in. pieces
16 oz. cherry tomatoes, cut in halves
1/2 green bell pepper, cut in small pieces
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into small pieces
1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut in small pieces
1 red onion, cut into small pieces
1/2 lb. pepperoni, cut in 1-in. pieces
1/2 lb. ham, cut in 1-in. pieces
1 bottle of Wish-bone Italian dressing, or your own

Cook linguine as directed, and drain, cool. Add everything but the dressing to the noodles in a large bowl. Now, gradually add the dressing to coat.

I have used a whole bottle of dressing for it soaks into the ingredients. This salad is best if made the night before, then toss; check to see if it needs more dressing, add then serve cold. Enjoy!
