Salami and Olive Pasta Salad

I was looking for a new pasta salad recipe and came across a "Salami Lover's Pasta Salad"... PERFECT! This house loves salami. Why not put it in a pasta salad? I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but did take the idea and the other ingredients it involved and created this.




12 oz Rotini Pasta
1 1/2 Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing
3/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
8 oz Salami, cubed
1 (2 oz) can Sliced Black Olives
1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced
1 Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced

Cook pasta as directed on package; drain. In large bowl mix pasta, dressing, cheese, salami, olives, onion and bell pepper. Stir well. Chill, then serve.

(I always add more dressing. You can add more once it is chilled if needed.)
