Low-Fat Pasta Salad
Makes 6-8 servings; Vegan
This is a great recipe to use what is in season and is a great dish to take to potlucks. I used summer/yellow squash and zucchini instead of the olives. Hope you enjoy! Sorry it's really late.....
1 1/2 cup whole wheat bowtie or corkscrew pasta, uncooked
1 cup broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 red onion, diced
1 12-ounce can of water-packed artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 cup cooked cannellini beans
2 tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
1/4 cup sliced black olives
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and allow to cool.
Lightly steam the broccoli, until just tender.
In a large bowl, toss together the pasta, broccoli, and remaining ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Allow to marinate in the refrigerator one to two hours before serving. Toss again before serving.
