Italian pasta salad

3-cukes diced (peeled or not)

1-med. onion diced
4-5 stalks celery chopped
1 ea-yellow,red & green peppers diced. Can use orange for even more color
2-8oz pkg shredded parmesan cheese
pepperoni- sliced or sausage. I prefer sausage & dice myself so doesn't stick together in salad.
2 tsp. italian seasonings
1tsp. salt
1tsp. sugar
1- 16oz bottle Italian dressing
1- 16oz bottle Creamy Italian dressing
¼ c. EVOO
Cook pasta according to package. Rinse when done under cold water & chill until cold. Throw in all the veggies, pepperoni, seasonings and dressing. Toss well and place in refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. Before serving toss in shredded cheese. If looks slightly dry add a little EVOO or dressing.
Toss and serve.
Could add black olives if you would like
