Creating Eyeball Pasta Salad is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water, add the rotini pasta, and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
2. Prepare Dressing: In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Combine Ingredients: In the same bowl, add the cooked pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, and mozzarella balls. Toss until evenly coated with the dressing.
4. Add Green Olives: Halve each green olive lengthwise and place one half on top of each mozzarella ball to create the “eyeball” effect.
5. Chill Salad: Cover the salad with plastic wrap or a lid, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld.
6. Serve: Transfer the chilled pasta salad to a serving bowl, and add extra green olives on top for decoration if desired.

Following these steps will ensure you create a striking and delightful Eyeball Pasta Salad that captivates your guests.
