Course Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz package tri-colored rotini pasta
  • ¾ of a ½ lb package of pepperoni cut into quarters
  • ½ lb Colby Jack cheese cubed
  • ¼-½ large red onion finely diced
  • 1 green pepper finely diced
  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 8 oz Zesty Italian dressing

Instructions
 

  • Cook the rotini pasta according to the package directions. Make sure not to overcook the pasta, it can be al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water. Place the cooked pasta in the refrigerator while preparing the other ingredients.
  • Cut all of the ingredients to your desired size. The noted sizes above are the measurements I used when preparing my ingredients.
  • Mix all of the ingredients with the cold pasta, adding the Italian dressing just before serving.

Notes

This can be made the night before, but wait to add the cheese and dressing until ready to serve.
