Italian Herb Pasta Salad image

This is a pasta salad that is easy to make, and great for gatherings, very tasty! I found it in a Betty Crocker recipe book. My husband and I don't like onions, so I replaced it with a little bit of shredded carrots for color. Also I used creamy Italian dressing, and it was delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I really enjoyed them in this salad. They added a nice salty flavor.
