Ingredients
- 4 pounds multi-colored rotini pasta
- 64 ounces Italian dressing
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 32 ounces mozzarella cheese cut in small cubes
- 40 ounces cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 3 green bell peppers
- 3 red bell peppers
- 36 ounces sliced black olives drained
Instructions
-
Cook half of pasta, drain and rinse quickly with cold water.
-
Use a very large bowl to put half of the pasta in.
-
Pour Italian dressing over the pasta. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top and use a long handled spoon to stir well.
-
Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
-
Pour into 2 or more large foil pans. Cover with foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Mixing half a batch at a time makes in a very large bowl makes this recipe easier to mix up.
- For best results make 24 hours ahead of time so pasta can absorb some of the dressing.
- Have an extra bottle of dressing available to add to the salad if dry when serving.
- I have included many more tips that may be helpful in the step by step instructions in this article.
