How To Make italian pasta salad

• 
  Step 1
  Cook pasta with salt according to package instructions. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Once cooked, drain and run cold water over it. Place in a large salad bowl.
• 
  Step 2
  Stripe cucumbers with a fork. Place a fork on the end of the cucumber and slide it down the length. Then slice it into discs.
• 
  Step 3
  Cut Roma tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Roma tomatoes have the best flavor. If you can't find Roma tomatoes, then use cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
• 
  Step 4
  Use only the florets of the broccoli and some of the stem. Pull apart if big clusters.
• 
  Step 5
  Place, broccoli, tomatoes, olive (drained), and cucumbers in with the pasta. Dust the salad with Salad Herbs or Tarragon (not salad seasoning) and lemon pepper. These spices give the salad a distinct flavoring.
• 
  Step 6
  Use 2/3 of the bottle of Italian dressing. That way the pasta and veggies absorb the flavor. Refrigerate. Just before serving add the remainder of the dressing and stir. Bon Appetit!
• Step 7
  *TIP: You can also add small pepperoni slices (optional).
