Primo Pasta Salad

Submitted by Mrs. Delishis

"This comes from the 2008 Taste of Home recipe book. I made it last night and thought it was actually pretty good! Nice and fresh and easy with lots of good veggies. This is from their "Cooking for one or two" section, so you might have to double the recipe to make enough for everyone. :)"

This is a great pasta salad! Loved the veggies (left out the onions and olives). I used lowfat dressings and was pleasantly surprised by the combination - it's really good! Thanks for sharing your creation! Made for Fall Pick-A-Chef 2011

I really liked that this recipe is measured for two servings. I found the serving size to be very generous. I was intrigued by the idea of mixing two prepared dressings as I always have both on hand. The salad was colorful and tasty, however the dressings were quickly absorbed when I chilled the salad for later. Served with Recipe #274266. Made for Fall '09 Pick A Chef.
