Method
- Cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, mozzarella cheese, and parsley.
- Pour the Italian dressing over the salad and toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute rotini pasta with any short pasta shape like penne or fusilli. Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein boost.
