Salad Supreme Pasta Salad Ingredients
- 3 cups tri-color rotini pasta
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese cubes
- 1/2 cup cucumber, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing
- 1 tablespoon Salad Supreme seasoning

Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Boil tri-color rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then let it cool completely.
- Prepare Vegetables and Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, mozzarella cheese cubes, chopped cucumber, and chopped red onion.
- Combine Pasta with Vegetables: Add the cooled pasta into the bowl containing the fresh vegetables and cheese mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- Add Dressing and Seasoning: Pour the Italian dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle the Salad Supreme seasoning on top. Add salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Toss the Salad: Gently toss all ingredients together until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing and seasoning.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of Salad Supreme seasoning and salt to suit your personal taste preferences.
- For a non-vegetarian twist, add sliced pepperoni or salami to the salad.
- Ensure pasta is cooled before mixing to prevent the dressing from becoming oily or watery.
- This salad tastes best when chilled for several hours or overnight.
