1 box any shaped pasta


1 green and red bell pepper, chopped


1 6 ounce bag of pre cooked chicken strips


1/2 bottle italian dressing





Mix. Eat.





1 box any shaped pasta


1 bag mixed califlower, broccoli, carrot, chopped down


1 small can sliced black olives


1/2 bottle of italian dressing





Mix. Eat
1 cup Olive oil


1/3 cup of white vinegar


2 big cloves of garlic


1 tablespoon of black cracked pepper


1/2 tablespoon of kosher salt


1 tablespoon of onion powder


Blend all above ingredients together, pour over one box of cooked spiral noodles (they hold the oil better), 1 can of black olives, 1 cut up fresh tomato, 1/2 red onion, 1 diced red pepper, 12 pepporcinis, and chopped fresh basil. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
1 box of tri-colored pasta


1/2 bottle of Italian dressing


Parmesian cheese (the kind in the shaker bottle)


small can of sliced black olives


1 cucumber





Cook the pasta, drain, and rinse with cold water. Cut the cucumber into small pieces and add to pasta. Add olives and some of the Italian dressing. I like to cut up a block of cheddar cheese into ';chunks'; and add to the salad as well. Shake in some parmesian and stir. Keep refridgerated for at least an hour and than add the rest of the Italian dressing and stir (the reason for this is it will dry up some in the fridge). Sprinkle with parmesian cheese, salt, and pepper and serve.





Note: sometimes I add pepperoni to it as well...always a big hit. Good luck and Enjoy!
