Memorial Day Pasta Salad

There is nothing that says Memorial Day more than a good old American barbecue. But chances are that barbecue will have plenty of chips, dip, and desserts, and very few vegetables. Pasta salad is the answer to this problem, it is a socially acceptable, well-liked side that you can pile on with vegetables and people will just think it's got great color! The trick is to make sure your pasta salad is healthy ;)


12 oz Pasta
1 Yellow Bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup carrots, shredded
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 medium cucumber, peeled and quartered
1/4 cup Brianna's New American Balsamic Vinaigrette
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning

Cook the pasta and rinse it in a collander with cold water. Pour the prepared vegetables and pasta in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the salad dressing and Italian seasoning and mix well until the pasta is coated with dressing. Allow to "marinate" for at least an hour before serving.
