Easy Pasta Salad
-makes a large serving bowl-

2 boxes pasta, COOKED (spirals, shells or bowtie work best)
2 bottles Kraft "Three Cheese Ranch" dressing
2 cups cooked meat, cut into bite sized pieces
(choose pepperoni, salami, chicken, ham. Whatever you like)
1 container grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes, cut in half)
1 small can sliced, black olives, drained
1 cup diced cheese (can use cheddar or any type you like)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese (dry, like for use on pizza)
3 cups (approx) diced veggies.  Pick the ones you like.
 Here are a few ideas:
broccoli
cauliflower
carrots
zucchini
radish
celery
peas (fresh or frozen type)
red, yellow or green bell peppers
sliced mushrooms

-fold pasta, veggies, diced cheese and meat together
-pour on enough dressing so pasta is coated (this will soak into pasta, may add more later if too dry)
-sprinkle salad with grated parmesan cheese and mix gently.
-chill in fridge until ready to serve!
