Pasta Salad

A dear friend gave me this recipe many years ago and I’ve been making it ever since. It’s great for barbecues.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound tri-colored spiral pasta
  • 6 tablespoons salad seasoning mix
  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can black olives, chopped

Directions
  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente, rinse under cold water and drain.
  • Whisk together the salad spice mix and Italian dressing.
  • In a salad bowl, combine the pasta, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and olives. Pour dressing over salad; toss and refrigerate overnight.
