the great thing about this salad is you can put in whatever you want to...you can add left over salami or pepperoni or even chicken
dressing is:
16 oz bottle of Italian dressing, I use light but you can use what you want and add a packet of dry Italian mix also...mix it all up with all the above ingredients and enjoy as all the wonderful flavors mix together THIS IS BEST ENJOYED AT ROOM TEMP or if you get the hunger for it in the middle of the night heat a dish of it for 30 seconds to 1 minute in microwave, the cheese starts to melt some..yummyyyyyyyyy!!!
PS....
you can also use angel hair pasta or whatever you want to actually...it's so easy to make..
