The ingredients for Bright Pasta Salad with Vinaigrette are:

Barilla Tri-Color Fiori, 10 oz
1/2 Large red pepper, chopped
1/2 Meduim red onion, sliced thin

Here is how you make Bright Pasta Salad with Vinaigrette:

Cook pasta until barely tender. Meanwhile, chop veggies.Drain pasta, put into large bowl with veggies. Add dressing and toss to coat. Stir in spinach, oregano, and cheese, and add salt and pepper to taste.This is best if you can make it the night before and let it sit, covered, in the fridge overnight. The flavors really get into the pasta that way and it makes a much tastier salad. It's great right away, too, though, so it's ok if you can't wait!This can be tweaked in a million ways. One of my favorite swaps is adding sliced black olives and some feta cheese instead of the parmesan. Of course, this will change the nutritional values.Makes 10 servingsNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ANTIGEN.
