Cook the pasta as directed on the package, and let cool.

Combine the cooled noodles, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumber pieces together in a large mixing bowl and pour the dressing over the top until the noodles are covered. Adjust the seasonings to taste and serve.

Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container. The pasta salad tastes better with time, so dont hesitate to prepare a day in advance of serving.

Kitchen Staff Tip: To prepare your own Italian Salad Dressing, simply combine 3/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup of Italian seasonings (oregano, parsley, basil, etc.) Add about 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper and pour in a shakable container to combine.
