This Italian Pasta Salad is such a crowd-pleaser, with its sweet bell pepper, black olive, and smoky tomato dressing. It's colorful, delicious, and super easy to make!
12-ounce package garden rotini pasta
1/2 red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 12-ounce can of diced black olives
12 - 15 grape tomatoes
1 cup vegan Italian dressing
Cook the rotini pasta according to the package directions, or until the noodles are tender. (slightly past al dente)
Meanwhile, dice the onion and bell pepper, and add them to a large salad bowl.
Drain off the olives' liquid, add the olives and tomatoes to the salad bowl, then set aside.
Strain the pasta and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process. Then strain all the water and combine the pasta with the vegetables.
Gently stir in the dressing, and toss to combine.
Chill thoroughly before serving.
