I have tried a lot of recipes and different versions to the plain ol' pasta salad. This one is so good too, I actually found it over at Rosie's Ramblings blog, which I adore. Go on over and visit her when you get a chance, she has amazing photos.

Cook 1 lb. pasta, elbow or rotini
1 can pinto beans
2 cans black olives (I only used 1)
1 head of broccoli steamed
1 onion finely chopped (I used onion flakes instead)
chopped cheddar cheese ( about half a block ) (I substituted parmesan cheese for the cheddar)
Mix all together well.
Blend:
Half a cup olive oil
1 T mustard
1 lemon juiced
1/2 t oregano
1 T apple cider vinegar
Pour over pasta and mix gently.
Serve chilled.
Notes: I only added in one can of olives didn't want it to become overwhelming. I also used Parmesan Cheese instead of Cheddar and I added in salt, pepper and garlic powder.
I would think that this would work better with Parmesan cheese instead of cheddar anyway. It looks delicious.
