Rainbow Pasta Salad
We like to make this colorful picnic salad on "Someday". In
most families, when children ask to do something out of the
ordinary, parents often reply, "Someday." Usually, this means
no, because "Someday" never comes. In our home, Mom and Dad
keep a list of these requests. Then, on a day in August, known
only by them, they wake us up with a commotion and proclaim
that it is "Someday!". On "Someday" we do all the activities
that they made note of throughout the year such as: miniature
golf, homemade ice cream, go-carts, family sports, picnics,
camping, watching home videos... We both agree that even after
we marry, we'll still want to come home for "Someday!"
SERVES 6
PREPERATION TIME: 30 - 45 MINUTES
- Cook pasta to desired doneness, then rinse with cold water.
- Combine the pasta and vegetables in a large bowl.
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl using a wire whisk.
- Pour dressing over the salad; toss well.
Cook's Notes: This salad can easily be made a day ahead. If made ahead, add
extra dressing since the pasta soaks up much of the liquid.
Cauliflower is a nice addition to this salad.
