Tri-color Pasta Salad

Vegetable Pasta Salad

Recently, I took a little mini-vacation from blogging……….er, ok, who am I kidding? I was just lazy and wanted to catch up on a few episodes of Parenthood that had stacked up on the DVR! I can’t help myself, I love this dysfunctional family. Do you watch Parenthood? They are the modern-day Walton’s.

I’ll have to admit, I love to watch TV. Before I started blogging, if I was home the TV would be on even if I wasn’t watching anything. I guess it was just the noise; it kept me company. Nowadays, I don’t even turn the TV on most days. I do record a couple of shows and watch them when it rains and I run on the treadmill.

So, my mini vacation consisted of eating the peanuts out of snack mix and Vegetable Pasta Salad, drinking diet Mt Dew, and watching the three generations of the imperfect Braverman’s fails and triumphs!

It was good; a much-needed break. But let’s get back to work and this delicious vegetable pasta salad!

I love this salad because

It’s quick and easy to make

It’s tasty, and

I can make it beforehand and refrigerate it.

You will love this salad for all the same reasons!

    A good pasta salad is great to have around when you don’t have a lot of time. You can also put it together quickly.
