Just Leave Out Whatever You Don't Care For

I tried this with whole wheat pasta and found the noodles were too chewy. Very disappointing.

How to Make Anything Goes Pasta Salad

Step-by-Step

Cook and cool pasta. It is very important to have cold pasta noodles before you proceed. I prefer tri colored rotini because it looks pretty.
Into a large bowl: add all the chopped veggies you desire, cheese, pasta and salad dressing. Put the lid on and shake. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Shake before serving.
Add pepperoni, tuna or chopped ham if desired.
