MOST REQUESTED PASTA SALAD FOR PARTIES

Steps:

• Boil your pasta in salted water until soft but not mushy. I eat several pieces as I am cooking to make sure they are the perfect consistency because the wrong consistency wrecks the recipe.
• Get a large bowl to blend your ingredients.
• Separate the pepperoni so that you don't end up with clumps of pepperoni.
• Add all the other items you wish to include or happen to have in your kitchen.
• Drain your pasta and run it under cool water so you don't melt your feta.
• Mix all ingredients together adding the entire bottle of the good Italian dressing - use your clean hands - it's the only way because it's a BIG salad.
• Serve in your biggest, prettiest bowl or platter - it's a colorful, beautiful summer salad that gets RAVES everywhere we go!
• ENJOY! By the way, it tastes better with every day that it sits in the fridge, but the cucumbers get a little soggy.

• While pasta is cooking, chop tomato, peppers and onion into very small pieces. Add olives and mix.

• Mix pasta with tomato, peppers, onion and olives.
• Refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour.
• Add salad dressing; mix well.

• If you have left overs, you will have to "re-wet" salad by adding a little more salad dressing the next day, especially if you substitute the dressing with a fat-free dressing.
