This is such an easy, customizable recipe for your specific likings. The version below is slightly more "Greek" with the feta cheese and olives; however, swap these out for parmesan and salami / pepperoni for a more "Italian" taste. Always a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients
2 C (200 g) dry rotini or shells pasta
½ C green olives, chopped
1 T capers
½ C red onion, thinly sliced
½ C asparagus, cut into 1" pieces
1 C cherry tomatoes, halved
½ C yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin rings
1 C feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
¼ C olive oil
½ t salt
½ t garlic powder
½ t dried parsley
½ t Italian seasoning
¼ t freshly ground black pepper
½ C Italian or vinaigrette dressing
Preparation
Over medium-high heat, bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil and cook pasta for 10 - 15 minutes until tender. Drain water and let pasta cool completely.
Mix all other ingredients listed above in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
