There is nothing fancy about this salad, but considering the fact that I've been making it for the last 18 years, it's a keeper. I love it because it comes together quickly, it's customizable, meets my criteria for a one dish dinner (protein, fiber, and veggies), and everyone in the family will eat it without complaint! This pasta is perfect for a make ahead dish for those nights that you know there isn't going to be much time to make dinner but you still want something healthy and satisfying. I'm writing this they way I typically make it, but you could totally add in some other veggies like cucumbers, tomatoes, raw broccoli, etc. You can even use a different type of pasta. I like to use the Ronzoni Garden Delight Veggie though because it actually contains a 1/2 serving of veggies per serving!
