I add some chopped ham or pepironi too and that makes it a complete meal in one bowl. I agree that the light Italian dressing goes well with all the veggies and does not over power any of them. I am now hungry for some so must go boil water.

I use equal parts mayo/sour cream. Cuts down on the heaviness. Squeeze some lime, chopped cilantro, parsley , basil, red,yellow orange peppers, celery, olives and tomatoes. With the tri colored pasta, it is so beautiful.

Try adding red wine vinegar to the whole grain pasta while it is still hot. It soaks up lots of flavor. Then add veggies of your choice with a little olive oil Delish!

Cathy Parlitsis’s comment on “Brown rice pasta tastes exactly like regular pasta and is WAY healthier!” is music to my ears, I try to remain gluten-free since it iritates my system and makes me feel bloated, I can enjoy pasta salad again!, Thanks

I normally use the multi colored spiral pasta noodles, raw spinach chopped,cherry or grape tomatoes, red onions, black and green olives, and light Italian salad dressing. (Shrimp, lobster, or crab optional.

I want the pasta to have a lot of flavor by itself, so I add mrs dash to the boiling water. Sometimes,save some of the starchy water & boil it down (takes a little time) & add it to the dressing. When the pasta is hot add no fat italian. Love the green olives too!

I also like adding a little Pepperoni, which I tear into smaller pieces. This is especially good with a pasta salad that has Light Italian as the dressing….Crumbles of Bleu Cheese add alot of flavor, too.
