Anyone have this pasta salad recipe, or one similar?

It has pasta and veggies with cheese, pepperoni and garbanzo berans. The special part is the dressing that went on it. It had red wine vinegar, herbs, oil and a small jar of spaghetti sauce in it. My mom used to make it when I was little and she can't find the recipe anywhere. She thinks it was either from Hormel or Kraft and was probably cut out of some women's magazine. If you can help. I'd appreciate it because I've tried to duplicate it and can't seem to get the taste right!Anyone have this pasta salad recipe, or one similar?
