google image16 oz. pkg of angel hair pasta (I have used spiral pasta as well)
4 firm, ripe tomatoes, diced
2 1/4 oz. can black olives, drained & sliced
2 medium cucumbers, peeled seeded & diced
1 small onion, finely diced
1 small green pepper, seeded & diced
1 small yellow bell pepper, seeded & diced
3 (1oz) pkgs ranch dressing mix
1 pkg Italian dressing mix
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Prepare Italian dressing mix according to directions, but using 1/2 the oil called for. Mix ranch dressing mix with oil and vinegar. Drain pasta and rinse with cold water. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss well. Refrigerate for at least a few hours, to combine flavors. Toss again before serving.
Notes: You don't have to use angel pasta. Pretty much any pasta will work. I typically will toss in the last bit of oil last because each time I make this...I think there is too much oil in the ingredients. So I save the remainder oil for last & slowly add what I think is best so the salad is not drenched in oil. I picked up this recipe at Macey's grocery store. It's a hit for our family & great to take to social parties.
