• 2 packets Italian or Zesty Italian dressing
  Water, Oil & Vinegar to make 1 packet of above dressing
  1 box pasta – cooked (we use bow ties, shells or radiattori)
  dry salami – about a 1″ long section
  ½ lb Cheddar cheese, cubed
  ½ lb Monterey Jack cheese, cubed
  1 head broccoli, washed & divided into florets
  1 red bell pepper, julienned
  1 cup carrots, sliced
  fresh ground black pepper, to taste (or a dash of white pepper) 

Make 1 packet of Italian dressing according to package directions, then pour the contents of the other packet into it & mix well.  This gives the dressing a little extra punch!

Combine all ingredients in a bowl & mix well.  Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.  Some alternate vegetables are listed below. You can also add olives, pimentos, capers, onions, etc.  Use the veggies your family prefers.  We will often add more cheese.  Mozzarella works well too.

Enjoy!
