    4 cup, chopped Broccoli, fresh
    3 cup Califlower (RAW)

Tips

steam veggies in separate batches briefly so they are still crisp.


Directions

cook pasta per package instructions. drain and rinse.
clean and cut the peppers and green onion in small pieces and add raw to the cooked pasta.
add the salad dressing and any additional seasoning you prefer.
steam to just cooked the broccoli, califlower, carrots and asparagus. I steamed each separately then removed the broccoli and califlower stems and used only the small florets. The stems can be used for another dish. I cut the steamed asparagus in 1 inch pieces. I cut carrots in thin rounds and steamed briefly.
add all veggies to pasta and dressing mix. I added black olives which I sliced into rounds. stir and store in refrigerator for a couple hours of overnight. Makes a light and delicious and healthy picnic option.
