My husband loves this salad! I think it is good, too!

"Manly, Meaty Pasta Salad

16 oz. pasta, small or medium shells are a good choice
2-1/4 oz. deli slices of ham
2-1/4 oz. deli slices of salami
2-1/4 oz. deli slices of pepperoni
8 oz. block mozzarella cheese
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 can sliced black olives
16 oz. bottle Zesty Italian dressing

1.) Cook pasta in lightly salted water.
2.) While pasta is cooking, cut up ham, pepperoni, salami, mozzarella, and tomatoes.
3.) Drain pasta and mix in all but 1/3 cup of salad dressing. When the pasta has cooled down some, mix in your meats, cheese, tomatoes and olives.
4.) Set pasta mixture in refrigerator overnight or for at least a few hours. Right before serving, mix in the reserved 1/3 cup of salad dressing.
