Summertime pasta... no mayo so it doesn't have to be refrigerated (sorry no picture)

Options

1 lb. Elbow macaroni...........1 1/2 large green bell pepper, diced

I small onion, diced..............2 large beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes, diced

1 small can sliced black olives.........small jar McCormacks Salad Supreme (in spice aisle)

1 bottle zesty Italian salad dressing. (I prefer to make Good Seasons dressing)

Cook pasta as directed (a bit more than al dente)...drain and put in large glass bowl big enough to stir things up. While pasta is still hot, add the diced ingredients. Pour in 12-16 ozs of dressing (I use whole bottle). Sprinkle in 1/2 to 2/3 jar Salad Supreme, depending on your taste. If first time making this, I would start out with half the jar. Let's set for a little while and stir two or three times to allow dressing to absorb into the macaroni

HINT: this dish can be eaten hot like a regular pasta dish. I actually prefer it this way
