EASY PASTA SALAD

EASY Pasta Salad image

The cook time is for the pasta, since that is all you have to cook. I try to use the multi-colored pasta for parties and picnics. You can cool the pasta quickly using a cold water bath while you are prepping the vegetables. Be sure to drain it REALLY WELL before mixing to cut down on the wetness. I probably gave more time than needed for the prep work, but I wanted to take into consideration that there are a lot of beginner cooks out there! This salad will hold nicely in the fridge for a few days, but is definitely best the first and 2nd day.
