So full of flavor and delicious! Perfect for a summer afternoon.

500g tri color fusilli or rotini

2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup black olives, sliced
½ cup green olives, sliced
½ red bell pepper, diced
½ yellow bell pepper, diced
½ green bell pepper, diced
½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp Parsley
½ tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions:
Cook the pasta according to package directions, rinse well in cold water to cool to room temperature, and set aside for now. In a large mixing bowl, gather the rest of your ingredients. Add in the veggies and meat first. Then mix in the pasta and stir until combined. Next add in the olives, and cheeses, followed by the seasonings, and dressing. Mix very well to coat everything, and make sure its evenly distributed. Chill for 2-4 hours before serving for the best results, so all the flavors can meld and blend together. Enjoy cold and fresh, with your favorite meal, or as a meal itself. It’s even better the next day!
