Ingredients
- 16 ounces spiral pasta - such as rotini or fusuli, cooked according to package directions and drained
- 8 ounces deli mushrooms - fresh, marinated
- 1 cup baby bell peppers - red, yellow and orange - sliced thinly, crosswise
- 4 ounces kalamata olives - drained (jarred or from the deli)
- 4 ounces green olives - pimento stuffed, drained (jarred or from the deli)
- 1 mild pepper - such as a Banana Pepper, Anaheim Chili or Poblano. I found some mini Anaheims. Seeded and cut into bite size chunks.
- ¾ cup Italian Dressing - you can use a balsamic type dressing also, for that Italian flare
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a very large bowl add all of the ingredients.
- Toss and taste.
- Add more salt and pepper if you so desire but I think it will be fine at this point.
- Store in the refrigerator for 4 days.
- After storing a day you may need to add more dressing. The salad really soaks it up. Sometimes I add balsamic dressing at this time. Everyone loves it.
