Pasta Vegetable Salad - special recipe

Fell down on the job and did not post for over a week, so you get two in a row now.  One today and one tomorrow and one for the weekend!


Today I have a quick vegetable salad with a dressing made from Backyard Patch NEW Salt-free Ranch Dressing


We have made a Ranch Dressing for years, but it contained salt, so I spent a couple years perfecting a salt-free version that is as tasty as my original.  And it is the perfect compliment to veggies and pasta.



Pasta Vegetable Salad


1 1/2 cups uncooked tri-color pasta spirals
1/2 cup fresh broccoli florets
1/2 cup cauliflower florets
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/3 cup carrots, sliced thin or julienned
1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped
1/4 to 1/3 cup prepared BYP salt-free Ranch Dressing




Cook pasta according to package directions.  Drain and rinse with cold water.  Place in a large bowl and add vegetables.  Drizzle the salad dressing over the entire bowl and toss to coat.  Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours before serving. I like to serve it over spring greens, but you can just serve the pasta salad as it's own dish.
