Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound(s) bow tie pasta (cooked al dente & drained)
2 cup(s) combo of colors of chopped peppers (red, yellow & green)
1 1/2 cup(s) shredded carrot or matchstick
1 cup(s) finely diced red onion
1 can(s) dark red kidney beans
DRESSING
2 cup(s) hellman's mayo
3/4-1 cup(s) granulated sugar
1 cup(s) white vinegar
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Cook & drain the pasta,rinse with cool water; while pasta is cooking drain & rinse kidney beans (set aside); Shred carrots and chop peppers and onion
  • Toss (I just use my hands) to combine the pasta, carrots, peppers and onions...add kidney beans last so as not to tear them all up in the tossing process.
  • Whisk together all ingredients for the dressing and combine with pasta/veggie mixture. Cover and refrigerate till good and chilled or overnight. Give it a stir before serving.
