1 lb Bowtie pasta 
1 cup black olives 
½ cup Kalamata olives
1 medium purple onion, sliced and then quartered (or one cup) 
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, cut in bite size pieces 
¾ cup sliced pepperoni 
¾ cup garbanzo beans 
1/2 jar roasted red peppers, sliced in bite size pieces (or approx ¾ cup) 
1 package Good Season Cheese Garlic salad dressing mix 
½ - ¾ bag spring mix (if you only have Romaine that will work – it’s just not as flavorful) 
Romano or Feta cheese

Cook Bowtie pasta according to directions; rinse, drain and let cool

Mix Good Season Cheese Garlic dressing according to directions (use olive oil not vegetable oil)
 
When pasta is cooled, in large bowl toss pasta, olives, onion, cheddar cheese, garbonzo beans, roasted peppers and enough Good Seasons salad dressing to coat your salad. Place in fridge until you’re ready to eat

Stir all ingredients and then right before serving mix in the spring salad mix (or romaine). If you need more Good Season dressing after adding the spring mix, now is the time to pour a little more in and stir :)

Sprinkle Romano or Feta Cheese over the top before serving

Tip: This recipe serves a crowd, so feel free to cut ingredients in half or even quarter them!
Tip: You can add ingredient amounts or lessen them according to taste preferences
Tip: Add green pepper, fresh mushroom slices, cherry tomatoes…whatever you want. This is another recipe you can’t ruin. However, you may need more salad dressing if you keep adding ingredients :)
