Italian Vegetable Salad Recipes

I found this recipe in the Holiday08/Winter 09 Kraft Food & Family magazine. I made it for my family for Xmas & It was not only great, but very colorful. I added 1/2 of a red onion to the recipe & didn't take quite the care that is shown here in the measurements; i.e., I used entire can of chickpeas, whole small bottle of salad olives, whole basket of cherry tomatoes, whole small head of cauliflower, 2 large handfuls of green beans. I also used the Italian dressing I had on hand & added a little at a time until it tasted right.

Any vegetables on hand

I was in the mood for some pasta and vegetables, but I didn't feel like running to the store. So I grabbed what ingredients I had in the fridge and cupboard and made myself and my husband some dinner. This is the recipe I came up with. I thought it was going to be a total bomb, but it actually turned out really good. You can swap out whatever ingredients you want when making this. Get creative!

It's low in calories and is good enough for anyone to eat. My husband ate 2 bowl-fulls.
