BLT Pasta Salad

{source}

This is a nock off of a salad some friends served at their wedding.  It was delicious!  I prefer it with the cole slaw dressing.  And it makes a lot, so it's great for entertaining.

{What you need}

2 cups spinach leaves

3 cups cooked penne, cooled

1.5 cups chopped sun dried tomatoes

2 cups raw peas

2 cups raw broccoli

1 red onion, thinly sliced

2 cups cooked bacon, chopped and cooled

1 cup olives {optional}

16 oz. pepper jack cheese, cubed into cubes about the size of dice

2 cups mayo or cole slaw dressing

Put the spinach leaves aside.  Combine all other ingredients in a large bowl and toss.  Add spinach last and toss.  Serve chilled.
