We used this one for a graduation open house here in the U.S. thisspring... can't get any easier:
Easy Make-Ahead Pasta Salad
1 lb Small rotini, cooked & drained
1 Green Pepper (see note below)
1 cup Celery, chopped
1 10 oz Salad Olives, sliced & drained
1 6 oz Pitted Black Olives, sliced & drained
1/2 cup Onion, chopped fine
1 16 oz bottle of Creamy Italian Salad Dressing
3/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Parsley
1 pkg "Bite Size" Pepperoni, cut in half (may use slices instead)
In a large bowl with a tight-fitting lid, combine all of the ingredients and refrigerate at LEAST 24 hours, preferably 2 days. During this time, stir or invert container every few hours to coat ingredients thoroughly.
Makes approximately 1 gallon.
NOTE:You can use green, red, orange and yellow peppers and use 1/4 of each pepper to add color. Before cutting up the peppers, cut off a "ring" or two of each pepper and store in a ziploc bag to use later to decorate the top of the salad before serving....
