ITALIAN PASTA SALAD

1-16 oz. pkg. cooked rotini pasta (may use tricolor pasta)

1 3-1/2 oz. pkg. sliced pepperoni

1 red pepper, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 can whole kernel corn, drained

1 can quartered artichokes, well-drained and chopped

1/2 jar sliced green salad olives, drained

1 can small pitted black olives, drained

2 bunches sliced green onions

Sliced banana peppers (pepperocini)

Toss with 1/2 bottle Neumann's Italian dressing. Refrigerate before serving.

I usually double this for a large crowd. Can be made ahead. Easy to serve.

This sounds really good, and could be made gluten-free with rice, corn, or other GF pasta.

I make a salad very close to this all the time for gatherings and it always get eaten all up! People really seem to love it. I got hooked on eating it when I used to work in a deli as a teen. I made it at work and ever since have loved the stuff!

Hi Joan,
I usually make this in the summer but I think it would work for a winter buffet as well.

Throw in some crumbled feta or diced mozzarella and I'm in!
