Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Prep your fresh vegetables: halve cherry tomatoes, chop cucumber, and thinly slice red onion. Halve the olives if whole.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled rotini pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives. Gently fold together.
- Drizzle the Italian dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until everything is well-coated. Adjust dressing to taste.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld.
