Italian Pasta Salad

"If there’s one side dish that always disappears first at summer potlucks, it’s Italian Pasta Salad. It’s fresh, colorful, full of flavor, and ridiculously easy to make ahead—which is basically the holy grail of warm-weather cooking. This version uses tri-color rotini for that fun, festive look, plus a combo of crunchy veggies, cubed Colby Jack cheese, mini pepperoni, and a generous pour of Olive Garden Italian Dressing. And let’s not forget the magic touch: McCormick Salad Supreme Seasoning. It adds a pop of tangy, herby flavor that takes this salad from “good” to “please send me the recipe.” Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or just want an easy side dish to keep in the fridge, this pasta salad is a reliable favorite. It’s bright, bold, and always hits the spot. Why You’ll Love This Pasta Salad No stress: Cook the pasta, toss everything together, and chill. Done. Totally customizable: Add olives, red onion, bell peppers, or swap the cheese and meat. Make-ahead friendly: It tastes even better the next day. Perfect for any occasion: BBQs, pool parties, family dinners—you name it. "
