With the summer's abundance of fresh vegetables, I enjoy making (and eating) this pasta salad. I didn't measure anything. Just fix to taste.
pasta
Italian dressing
any kinds of peppers (red, green, jalapeno, banana), chopped
tomatoes, chopped
onions, chopped
parmesan cheese
olives, chopped or sliced
sunflower seeds
garlic powder
salt and pepper
Mix all together and refrigerate. This is very hearty with the chopped vegetables. I had leftover fettuccine from last night's chicken alfredo, but any pasta will do. I also used Tuscan House Italian dressing that I had on hand. Spicy Italian dressing is good, too. I used banana peppers and "orangesicle" peppers with orange tomatoes. Grape tomatoes work well because they keep their shape (1/2 or quarter them). This is a nice cold dish for those hot summer days.
