This is an easy pasta salad, one of the few recipes that I got from my mother who hates to cook!
You just need 1lb package of rotini pasta, I like the garden kind for the different colors. 1 6.5oz can of sliced black olives, 3-4 oz of sliced green olives or even better greek Kalamata olives and 6oz of crumbled feta cheese. If you don't like feta sharp cheddar work fantastic cubed. You can also add some raw or shocked broccoli and/or cauliflower if you like, I have made it that way several times and it was great. I have even added ham, it is a versatile recipe.
For the dressing my favorite is Kraft Red Wine Vinaigrette, it goes so well with this. That dressing use to be the Seven Seas, then it was Kraft Seven Seas and then it actually went out of production for many years. I was thrilled when it came back! I order it from Walmart.com because it can be hard to find, I usually order 8-10 bottles at a time. This dressing is also great on sub sandwiches.

Just cook the pasta just past al-dente for pasta salad and toss everything together. I use about 3/4 of the bottle of the dressing and let it sit in the fridge for at least a couple of hours, then add about half the remaining dressing and stir again before serving. The next day if there is still enough left add the rest and stir again, the pasta absorbs quite a bit of the dressing.
I usually serve this when we have brats or hotdogs/hamburgers on the grill and for summer family gatherings or picnics.
