Step 1
I made a delicious pasta salad for Christmas a few years ago. Now every holiday of family event I am ask if I would make pasta salad. This is time consuming it will take about an hour to make. But you will enjoy your recipe when you are finished. You can add other of your favorite vegetables if you prefer I chose these because these are the veggies my kids like. You will start by boiling 1 1/2 pounds of seashell pasta noodles. Be careful to only cook them until they are still a little stiff. If you overcook they will stick together.

Step 2
You will then need to cut your onion in small bite size pieces. You will also need to do this to your green pepper. You will also due this to the cheddar, provolone, and hot pepper cheeses. You will do this to the pepperoni and hard salami. The cucumber will be cut into bite size pieces also but I have found that you need to remove the seeds from the cucumber. When your noodles are finished you will need to drain them and let them cool. Place them in a large bowl. You will then add all of the meats, cheese, and vegetables. You will need to mix these together until they are all mixed throughout. You will then need to add your Italian dressing and the 2 tablespoons of the salad supreme seasoning stir throughout.

Step 3
You will then sprinkle the top with coarse black pepper and Italian seasoning. You will need to refrigerate for about 2 hours or until chilled. I have found that it taste better if it sits overnight. You will need to restir before serving all the dressing settles on the bottom of the bowl. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. I hope that you like this recipe as much as we have.
