Instructions
- 01
Cook tri-color rotini, according to box instructions, to al dente. It is important the pasta is al dente as it will absorb liquid from the salad dressing.
- 02
Drain pasta and run cold water over until no longer hot. Alternatively, you could let it cool at room temperature or refrigerate it.
- 03
In a large bowl, combine the cooled rotini with the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, olives, cheese, and 3/4 of the Italian dressing. Mix until well combined.
- 04
Chill pasta salad for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow flavors to melange. Before serving, add in the remaining Italian dressing and mix to combine.
- 05
Enjoy!
