Ingredients
- 12 ounces Rotini pasta
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 large Green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.75 cup Black olives, sliced
- 1 cup Pepperoni slices, quartered

- 0.75 cup Italian salad dressing
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Transfer the cooled pasta to a large mixing bowl.
Add the cherry tomatoes, diced green bell pepper, red onion, black olives, pepperoni slices, and cubed mozzarella cheese to the bowl with the pasta.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian salad dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing mixture over the pasta and vegetables. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a good stir and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve chilled as a main dish or side dish. Enjoy!
