FRESH VEGETABLE PASTA SALAD
THIS colorful pasta salad is a family favorite and one I make often because I love fresh vegetables. It's a meal in itself or a side dish compatible with any cut of meat. It's also any easy salad I often bring along to a pot luck supper.

PASTA VEGETABLE SALAD

The I top it off with a tomato-based dressing that I've spiced up with taco seasoning.-Helen Turner, Upland, Indiana
