Pasta Salad I

Pasta Salad I

Yummy vegetable pasta salad featuring fresh vegetables and a light dressing. This salad is great served with bar-b-q chicken or burgers and garlic toast. If I’m serving this salad to seniors, I usually par-boil the vegetables in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, just until tender.
