4. Bring a large pot of water to a steady boil and add 1/2 tsp salt and a splash of oil. - - Pour pasta into boiling water, stirring occasionally and cover for 8 minutes. Or, as per box directions. I'll boil my noodles al dente [just under manufacturers directions] for a toothier chew.
5. Drain noodles and place pasta in a large bowl. - - Immediately add your entire bottle of Italian Dressing to your pasta and mix well. - - This step is important. Especially if you're serving this dish the same day. Your pasta will instantly begin to absorb your dressing while hot. - - Allow pasta to cool naturally on the counter.
6. Also another great dressing option!
7. After pasta has cooled off - add all of your chopped chilled vegetables and cheeses. Gently fold them in. - - Refrigerate salad for several hours - gently mixing occasionally. - - As needed - add your reserved bottle of dressing if you feel your salad is firming up too much with the addition of cheese.
8. Authors Notes: - - #1: I've tried the most expensive Italian Dressings and most of the more cost effective ones. One of the best I've found to date is Kraft Zesty Italian for flavor and price. - - #2: The flavor of this salad is exponentially better the following day. - - #3: Stir entire batch of salad from the base upwards each time before serving dishes for best flavor. - - Enjoy!
