Ingredients

    Rotini pasta, I used Lancia, 5 c = 340 g before cooking
    2 c sliced sweet red/orange peppers, 140g
    2 c sliced green peppers, approx 1 med., 190 g
    1 small zucchini, chopped, approx 1 rounded c or 150g
    One smallish onion, chopped, about 3/4 c or 77g

    FOR DRESSING:
    2 Tbsp EACH lemon and lime juice
    2 Tbsp olive oil
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Herbs as desired/available; I used fresh basil, dried oregano, and a little dried mint.
    Also a tsp or so of Dijon mustard, which is only 5 calories, not counted.

Tips

Mashed avocado makes the salad creamier but is not counted in this recipe.


Directions

Cook pasta for about 12 minutes then add veggies for just a couple of minutes to soften them slightly.
Drain all and rinse in cold water, drain.
Whisk together dressing ingredients then toss all and chill.
