- 2 oz. black olives canned and drained
- 8 oz. cheddar cheese cubed `
- 6 oz. salami cubed
- 1 tbsp. Salad Supreme Seasoning
- 16 oz. Olive Garden Signature Italian Dressing or the Italian dressing of your choice
Instructions

- In a big bowl, mix the cooled pasta with cucumber, tomato, onion, olives, cheese, salami, seasoning, and dressing.
- Gently toss until everything is coated with dressing.

Notes
- After cooking, rinse the pasta under cold water to stop the cooking process and ensure it cools down quickly. This helps prevent the pasta from sticking together and becoming gummy.
- Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This gives the flavors time to meld together and enhances the overall taste of the dish.
- If you don't like salami, pepperoni is a fantastic substitute.
