Instructions
1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain rotini, rinse in a colander under cold water until completely cool, and return to the pot.
2
Meanwhile, microwave broccoli, one bag at a time, per package directions, 4 to 6 minutes.
3
Stir broccoli, tomatoes, salad dressing, Cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder into rotini until well mixed.
4
Refrigerate pasta salad until chilled, 30 to 60 minutes. Serve cold.
