"This cold Italian pasta salad will get your taste buds soaring!"
The ingredients for making this dish are similar to those used for making pizza. Lots of hot meats, vegetables, cheese and spices.
The colored pasta makes it look like an interesting assortment just waiting to be eaten.
For this recipe you can use any assortment of meats and cheeses if you don't have the ones here.
I used plain canned olives but if you have some spicier ones all the better.
While I prefer the rotini noodles for this style of salad there is no reason you cannot use any of the other popular salad pastas.
In a pinch you could break open a box of mac & cheese and use those noodles quite successfully.
