Cold Pasta Salad with Tomatoes and Onions

You can either use regular store bought italian dressing, or you can make your own, which I did include the recipe below.  Ingredients shown in picture does not have everything – it’s missing the pasta used, tomatoes, onions and other spices for the italian dressing recipe because I ended up combining two different recipes together…

Chicken, Shrimp, Kielbasa Alfredo Pasta
