Ingredients:

• 1 box (16 oz) pasta
• 1 cup Italian dressing
• 1 large cucumber, sliced and quartered
• 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup pepperoni cut into quarters
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

How to make The Best Salad Recipe:

Heat a large stockpot of water to a boiling and cook pasta according to package directions. When pasta is cooked to your liking, drain and immediately rinse with cold water until pasta is cool.

Mix cucumbers, tomatoes, pepperoni and red onion together in a large bowl with pasta. Pour in dressing and mix well.

Refrigerate for about an hour or overnight until ready to serve. I like to keep it in a glass Rubbermaid storage container. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
