Directions:Boil a large pot of salted water. Once water is boiling, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain water and run cold water over the pasta to cool. Put pasta in a large bowl. Pour about 1/4 of Italian dressing over pasta. Place in the refrigerator to cool while chopping vegetables.

Dice Cherry tomatoes quarters.
Chop Onion into bite-size pieces.
Chop Bell Pepper into bite-size pieces.

Remove pasta from the fridge. Dumb all your chopped ingredients over the pasta. Pour Italian Dressing over the top. (to taste, but often times I'll use the whole bottle).

Notes: This recipe is so easy! My college roommates and I came up with this side dish when we needed something in a hurry. We already had these items. So we collaborated and It was a hit. Feel free to add or remove ingredients to your liking. I personally don't love olives so I usually leave them out.
I think the secret to this pasta salad is the Wish-Bone Italian dressing. Buy the Robusto or Zesty for added flavor.
