Creamy Italian Pasta Salad

Step 1:  Cook pasta to al dente or according to package directions. Once the pasta is cooked, rinse several times in cold water until the pasta is cool to the touch. Once the water has drained from the pasta, transfer to a large bowl. Chop vegetables into bite size pieces and add to the bowl with cooked pasta.   

Step 2:  Add the mayonnaise, Creamy Italian Salad Dressing, salt and black pepper to the pasta and vegetables and and stir to combine, ensuring pasta and vegetables are well coated. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.  NOTE: you may need to add more Creamy Italian salad dressing prior to serving as the dressing will soak into the pasta. Garnish with parsley (optional).
