Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package tri-colored pasta assortment
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing

Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and rinse thoroughly with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, chilled pasta, and Italian dressing. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pasta salad for a minimum of 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
