    2 cups chopped green peppers
    2 cups diced tomatoes
    1 1/2 cups chopped red onions
    1/2 lb cubed provolone cheese (optional)
    1/2 lb sliced pepperoni
    1/2 cup sliced black olives

    ---DRESSING---
    3/4 cup pompeian extra virgin olive oil
    3/4 cup pompeian red wine vinegar (this brand is excellent in this dish)
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 tablespoon oregano
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper

    1. Mix together dressing first and set aside until sugar is dissolved completely.
    2. Cook pasta according to box directions and rinse under cold water until cool.
    3. Slice the sliced pepperoni circles in half and separate slices.
    4. Mix together with pasta and chopped items, except the provolone cheese.
    5. Pour dressing over it all and mix well.
    6. Chill well.
