Italian pasta salad

Hi everyone,
This is a salad that we always make in the spring and summer. It is easy to make and taste great.

1 16oz pkg colored pasta, cooked and cooled
1 can olive, sliced
1 bunch broccoli, florets cut small
1/2 -1 cup diced cheese, mozzarella, colby, cheddar or any other you like
1 green or red pepper diced
3 medium tomatoes diced
Italian salad dressing, you can use reg, light, or fat free; to taste

combine all ingredient and add salad dressing to taste. Let chill or serve immediately. You might want to add more dressing once the salad has had a chance to soak up a bit of the dressing.

Enjoy!!

kim, i made this (a cross between yours and katies) and it was SO good. i did what you said and put more dressing on after it had been chilling for a couple of hours. thanks for the recipe. :)

may i suggest adding Salad Supreme Seasoning (a McCormick dry spice). This was recently introduced to me by a friend and it adds great flavor and adds to the presentation. Toss with the salad ingredients and then sprinkle over completed salad for looks.
