3/4 pound pasta noodles
2 carrots
2 ribs of celery
1 cucumber
1/2 pound cherry or grape tomatoes
1 can black olives
1 stalk broccoli
1/4 head cauliflower
1/2 green pepper
1/2 red pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
1/2 orange pepper
1 bunch green onions
1/2 pound cheese, cubed
salami, pepperoni, or other Italian meats (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1 pkg Good Seasons Italian dressing mix, made with no water plus add 1 T. mayonnaise or your favorite Italian dressing
Cook pasta according to direction on the package. Cut up all the vegetables and cheese. Mix all ingredients together. This can be made ahead but if doing so it is better to wait and add the cucumbers and cheese just before serving. You can parboil the veggies, but we leave everything raw.
