Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add one pound of farfalle pasta and cook according to package directions, about 10-12 minutes, until al dente. Once done, drain the pasta and rinse it under cool water.
- While the pasta is cooking, wash and chop the fresh vegetables. Slice the red onion thinly, and chop the yellow squash, cucumber, red bell pepper, broccoli, and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the zesty Italian dressing mix, red wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Add the cooled pasta and chopped vegetables to the bowl with the dressing. Gently stir everything together.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes.
- Just before serving, fold in the black olives and stuffed green olives to maintain their texture.

Notes
Refrigerate the salad overnight for best flavor melding; serve chilled after stirring to redistribute flavors.
