A dear friend gave me this recipe many years ago and I've been making it ever since. It's great for barbecues.

Pasta Salad

tri-colored spiral pasta

salad seasoning mix

(16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing

cherry tomatoes, diced

green bell pepper, chopped

red bell pepper, diced

yellow bell pepper, chopped

(2.25 ounce) can black olives, chopped

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente, rinse under cold water and drain.


Whisk together the salad spice mix and Italian dressing.


In a salad bowl, combine the pasta, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and olives. Pour dressing over salad; toss and refrigerate overnight.


Great stuff. When I am out of Salad Supreme this still is pretty good stuff by adding individual spices listed on the SS bottle. After refrigerating overnight, the day I am serving I sometimes add a bit more salad dressing. Also, you can interchange lots of ingredients: veggies, cubes of cheese, pepperoni slices or ham cubes, etc. This is easily customizable.

This was a crowd pleaser!  I added feta cheese and used Caesar Italian dressing.  It was great!

Great Recipe. I cater occasionally and use this all the time. 1 full recipe will serve 40 or so people with other salads available ie potato, tossed salad, chips etc. I half the cherry tomatoes, add shredded carrots, celery and use only 1/2 cup dressing and 3 TB salad supreme and give out the recipe at every occasion. Make the day before and the place in zip lock. Thanks for the great recipe Cyndie.

I love this recipe! I have been looking for something tasty and easy to make to take to family gatherings. This went over GREAT!

This recipe was good, though for my family I omitted the olives and yellow pepper and added cucumber.  It was crisp and juicy and went fast.  Thanks!

I really love this recipe it is fast fun and easy. I always get a lot of comments on it a gatherings on how pretty it is and tastes great. I love preparing the night before for convience sake.

I didn't need to use the whole bottle of dressing and this salad tasted great. Plus you can use any vegetables you want and I added salami.

Good recipe. I left out the green pepper because I didn't have any and thought there would be plenty with the yellow and red peppers anyway. My daughter loved this. We are still eating on it two days later.

Very tasty...much better than the boxed pasta salads I accustomed to.

Just Ok...kids didn't like it at all and they LOVE all the ingredients so I thought it would be a big hit. Won't make again.

Refreshing pasta salad perfect for a spring day or summer B-B-Q!
