Ingredients

• 16 Ounces (oz) package colored rotini pasta, packaged
• 2 Whole tomatoes, minced
• 1 Whole green bell pepper, minced
• 1 Whole onion, minced
• 1 Large cucumber, minced
• 1 Cup broccoli florets, divided
• 1 Cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 Cup black olives, sliced
• 8 Ounces (oz) bottle Italian-style salad dressing

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the pasta in cold water to cool it down.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, minced tomatoes, minced green bell pepper, minced onion, minced cucumber, divided broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, and sliced black olives.
3. Pour the Italian-style salad dressing over the pasta and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly with the dressing.
4. For best results, cover the salad and chill it in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend before serving. Toss the salad again before serving to ensure even distribution of the dressing. Enjoy!
