Taisen's semi Italian pasta salad
I have seen a lot of different Italian pasta salads, so I decided to try and do one but I couldn't find the one that I wanted to try, so I ended up just buying stuff that I wanted in it. Nobody in my household would try it besides myself and my youngest daughter. She loved this so much that she kept asking for more. The only thing that she picked out of it was the tomatoes. I will definitely do this again, but I think that I might make a few changes just to make it different. The ham for instance, didn't really go with because I had gotten honey ham. I think regular ham would be better.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil your pasta noodles until done. Remove from heat, drain and let cool. You don't have to use the entire box. I didn't. I used maybe half or a bit over half.
- 2
While the noodles cool, start prepping the rest of the ingredients.
- 3
Open and drain black olives. Slice them length wise, in half or leave whole. Your choice.
- 4
Rinse off the tomatoes, and slice into bite size or you can use grape tomatoes.
- 5
Rinse, peel and slice your cucumber into bite size pieces.
- 6
Slice up your block of mozzarella cheese into small bite sizes. Slice your soft round mozzarella into thin slices or however you like.
- 7
Take your ham and chop it up into pieces or into long thin lengths. I used deli ham.
- 8
Chop up your onion if using onion.
- 9
For the pepperoni, you can leave them sliced as is or cut up. I cut mine into fours.
- 10
When the noodles are cool, add some of the Italian dressing. Mix. Start adding in everything that you chopped and sliced. Mix well. You don't have to use the entire bottle.
- 11
Cover with plastic wrap and set in the fridge for at least an hour. Enjoy ;)

This is soooo good. Make sure the pasta is just a little firm. The italian dressing will soften it up.

Growing up my mom would make this for me at least once a month, but she always made it with spaghetti noodles. Given that I suck at cutting noodles, I adapted. Haha. Hope you enjoy a slice of my childhood. :)
