Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package tri-color rotini pasta
2 large tomatoes, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
0.5 cup thinly sliced carrots
0.5 cup chopped green bell pepper
0.5 cup cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
0.25 cup chopped onion
1.5 (16 ounce) bottles Italian-style salad dressing, or to taste
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the juicy tomatoes, crisp celery, sweet carrots, colorful bell pepper, refreshing cucumber, and zesty onion. Then, add the chilled pasta, flavorful salad dressing, and nutty Parmesan. Gently mix until everything is well combined. For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until it's tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Immediately rinse the pasta under cold water to stop the cooking process, then drain thoroughly.
