Submitted By: Lorraine Darocha

Ingredients

• 1 (16-ounce) package tricolor spiral pasta
• 1 (16-ounce) package frozen California-blend vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower,
• carrots)
• 1 (2 1/4-ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
• 1 to 1 1/3 cups Italian salad dressing
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, optional

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, microwave frozen vegetables, covered, at 50-percent power for seven to eight minutes; drain.

Drain pasta and rinse in ice-cold water; drain thoroughly. In a bowl, combine pasta, vegetables, and olives. Mix dressing and garlic salt; pour over salad and toss. Refrigerate leftovers (if there are any!)
Note: This is a great side dish to serve with any grilled meat or fish. Easy to double for a larger crowd.
