My pasta salad can be a side dish or a meal in itself. I like to chill it about 4 hours to blend the flavors.

Ingredients:

1 12 oz. package white rotelli

1 16 oz. package colored rotelli, or whacky mac

1 16 oz. package crab meat, or lobster meat, shredded

4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

6 green onions, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, chopped

2 stalks celery, thinly sliced

1/2 pound grape tomatoes, halved

1 6 oz. (drained weight) large ripe olives, quartered

1 small jar green olives with pimento, halved

1 cup mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4 cubes

1 large bottle of kraft deluxe caesar/parmesan salad dressing, or

(if you can't find it - newman's own caesar)

Directions:

1. Cook the pasta according to package directione. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool the pasta; drain.
2. Pour pasta into a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the dressing. Toss to combine.
3. Pour salad dressing over pasta mixture in the bowl. Toss until pasta mixture is completely coated with the dressing.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
