Have been making a similar salad for years. Instead of broccoli & black olives, I use Greek olives, small mozzarella balls, and mini pepperoni with the tomatoes.

I make this often for dinners at church. My family aren't broccoli eaters, so I use onion, green pepper, grape tomatoes, and black olives. I also add sliced pepperoni, cut in half, and shredded parmesan if I have it.

I use tomatoes, cucumbers and onion in mine, but you could use any number of ingredients to suit your taste....good and easy

Had to change because of the sodium content. I only put half the olives and I used a low sodium Italian dressing. I really like the idea of cheese and ham chunks. Could just make my low sodium family member push those aside!

I make this pasta a little different. I take out the broccoli and olives. I use the pasta, grape tomatoes (cut in half), chucks of ham and chunks of cheese. You can buy those already in chucks in your dairy section. I use the Italian dressing also. I love this recipe. So fast and easy.

I needed a recipe for a Wednesday night church supper to compliment hamburgers and baked beans. This was it! I've had several ask if I would share the recipe. The only thing I would do different is add a bit of chopped red onion. Enjoy!
