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 full bottle of Annie's Organic Smoky Tomato Dressing

Cook the rotini pasta according to package directions.

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.

When the pasta is cooked and tender, strain and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process. Then, strain off all of the water, and combine the pasta with the vegetables.

Gently stir in the dressing, and toss to combine.

Chill thoroughly before serving.
