Supreme Pasta Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (12 ounce) package al dente cooked pasta, chilled (I use tri-color rotini)
    1/2 cup red onion, diced
    1/2 cup grape tomatoes
    1 cup seedless cucumber, diced
    1 cup green bell pepper, diced
    1 cup carrot, diced
    1/2 cup cheddar cheese, cubed OR
    1 (8 ounce) package small marinated fresh mozzarella balls in oil (I use pearlini)
    1 cup salami, cubed OR
    1 cup pepperoni, cubed
    1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian dressing (I use Good Seasonings Zesty Italian Salad Dressing that I make myself with red wine vinegar and oliv)
    1/4 cup McCormick Salad Supreme Seasoning
Preparation
    Mix salad dressing with seasoning.
    Place pasta, vegetables, cheese and meat in large salad bowl. Add dressing and seasoning; toss gently to coat.
    Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or until ready to serve. (I ALWAYS refrigerate overnight-its better the next day.) Toss before serving.
    (For the pasta, I cook to al dente, and rinse thoroughly with cold water to chill.).
