ANTIPASTO PROTEIN PASTA SALAD

8 ounces Banza rotini chickpea pasta, cooked, drained and rinsed*
1 small can sliced black olives, drained
1 small jar artichoke hearts, chopped
cherry tomatoes, to taste, cut in half or quarters
turkey pepperoni, to taste, chopped into smaller pieces
6 ounces block mozzarella cheese cut into smaller cubes**
1 recipe of Cream Italian Salad Dressing (from Spend With Pennies)***

Mix all in a large bowl and refrigerate about an hour before serving to allow dressing flavors 
to develop. Makes 6 1-cup servings.

*The pasta will be tender before it actually looks plump and tender.  Take a piece out to test
the doneness.  It will tend to fall apart if overcooked.
**I cut an 8 ounce block of cheese into 8 1-ounce pieces. Then I cut aach 1 ounce piece into smaller
cubes and added them to each of the bowls separately so I would be assured of getting the right
amount of protein in each bowl. 
***The only change I made to this recipe was to use 2 teaspoons dried parsley instead of the
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley.
