colander. Rinse with water until pasta is just warm, then let
drain. Transfer linguine to large mixing bowl or salad bowl
while still slightly warm. At this time, add 1/3 of the salad
dressing and mix well so that the noodles do not stick together
and then cut through noodles with a sharp knife a few times
each way. Add spices and mix well again.
Add sliced olives (black and green), diced green pepper,
diced onions and tomatoes; mix well while pouring in the
remaining salad dressing. Add mushroom salad and grated
cheese, a little at a time, while mixing into salad. Refriger-
ate until ready to serve.
Note: Red wine vinegar may be served with salad for
those wishing to add some to their serving.
