Ingredients

  • 14 ounces uncooked rotini pasta
  • 2 cucumbers, chopped
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • ¾ cup pitted black olives, sliced
  • 1 cup Italian-style salad dressing

Directions

Step 1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and cool by running cold water over pasta in a colander set in the sink.

Step 2
Combine pasta with cucumbers, onion, tomatoes, and olives in a large bowl. Pour Italian dressing over salad; stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
