Vegetable Pasta Salad


"This is a fresh summer barbeque side dish, or light lunch.  If you would like a heartier version for dinner, it is delicious with added crumbled feta cheese and spinach leaves."
Recipe By Miss Rainy Simpson


12 oz. package of Wacky Mac Veggie Spirals (boiled and drained according to package directions)
1 container of cherry tomatoes
1 container of sweet peppers
1 14oz. can of quartered artichoke hearts
1/4 cup of Kraft light zesty Italian dressing
the juice of one lemon

Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut into small pieces.  Cut the tops off of the sweet peppers, discard the seeds, wash and cut into small pieces.  Drain and chop the artichoke hearts.

Place cooked and drained Wacky Mac into a large boil.  Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the top.
Combine the chopped vegetables with the pasta.  Stir in 1/4 cup of the light zesty Italian dressing (more or less to taste).  And sprinkle with pepper.  

This dish is best chilled.
