Ingredients

  • 2 cups rotini pasta

Place pasta and vegetables in a large bowl or baking dish. Toss with half the salad dressing and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Layer turkey, zucchini and tomatoes on top of macaroni mixture. Drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with remaining pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
