The dressing is purely olive oil along with some salt and pepper to add a little flavor. The good thing about this easy pasta salad recipe is that you can always tailor it according to your choice of ingredients. For example, you may add chopped salami or bacon bits, along with some shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheeses. Crumbled Feta cheese and some grape tomatoes are also nice to have. Olive oil is always the safest choice. However, if you wanted to add a little life to this dish, you can always use your favorite salad dressing such as ranch, Italian, Caesars, etc. You can also use other varieties of short cut pasta for this easy pasta salad recipe.

Rotini is an interesting ingredient. I also use it to make chicken alfredo.
