1/2 cup Ken's Lite Olive Oil Vinaigrette (or equivalent lite dressing of your choice)
1 tsp salt

Here is how you make Whole Wheat Pasta Salad:

Bring water to a boil, add 1 tsp salt.Cook pasta in salted water until slightly al dente (the pasta will soften further when chilling with the dressing mixed in, so you don't want to overcook it). While pasta is cooking, chop all veggies.Add broccoli stems to pasta during last minute of cooking. Add broccoli florets to strainer and pour pasta and broccoli stems over broccoli florets (this steams them just a tiny bit, and gives them a nice bright color!).Add rest of veggies, canned mushrooms, and dressing, mix well, and let sit in refrigerator for several hours to allow flavors to mellow.Serving Size: 6 servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SPOONGIRLDEB.
