FAMILY'S FAVORITE PASTA SALAD
While trying to figure out a way to get my meat-and-potato loving husband to eat other veggies, I came up with this salad. Took a few of his favorites (tomatoes and olives) and threw in some I knew he could tolerate, mixed it with pasta and cheese, and it was a big hit. I take it to every family get-together and never have any...

Steps:
- 1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is cool.
- 2. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, leaving some of the cheese to sprinkle on top.
- 3. Chill several hours to let the flavors blend. Better if left to sit overnight.
- 4. Very versatile as you can add more of what you like, less of what you don't like. Can easily double by adding more veggies and 1/2 of another package of pasta. I have even used grilled chicken instead of pepperoni, or left the meat out completely.
