A fresh and colorful pasta salad perfect for any occasion.
Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente.
Adding salt to the water enhances the pasta's flavor.
Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Rinsing with cold water also prevents the pasta from sticking together.
Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Try to keep the pieces uniform for even distribution.
Combine the pasta and vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Gently toss to avoid breaking the pasta.
Pour the salad dressing over the mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Start with half the dressing and add more as needed.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
