7 1jar of Itallian dressing ( you will almost use this whole jar..depends on how much you like). 0Garlic powder( just sprinkle in moderation ) 1jar of Parmasian cheese to laye on top of salad when all mixing is done 1little basket of red cherry tomatos, cut in halfs as many as you like. 1bag of graded cheese( yellow) to sprinkle and mix 1cucumber diced in pieces to mix 1cnof Black Olives cut in halfs 1onion cut in pieces to mix 0bacon bits( I like to use the bacon bits that have the multi mixture like poppy seeds an such) 1Box of bow tie noodles 1green pepper cut in pieces to mix When noodles are done rinse and drain real good with cold water, When you have everything cut and diced add in with noodles in a big bowl and mix well, Add your Garlic, Maybe even a little pepper with it. Add your Bacon bits and yellow cheese and Itallian dressing and mix well together. When mixing is done top off with Parmasian cheese( as a layer for topping)..sprinkle a little bit more bacon bits to give some colour on top and leave( mix no more). Set in frig to cool for a hour or 2 ( or to what you feel is cool enough, I usually make it 2 hours before serving so its nice and cold). And there you have your Summer Salad!
