This is a real easy wing-it kind of pasta salad that LOOKS and TASTES great!
cook pasta - add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil to water
while you are cooking the pasta dice the veggies and prepare the dressing - to prepare the dressing take a ball jelly jar (or any other glass jar) and fill it 1/3 vege oil, 1/3 extra virgin olive oil, and 1/3 balsamic vinegar (to taste) - add spices to taste (it usually takes quite a bit)
when pasta is ready, drain, toss with the veggies and dressing!
this recipe was one that i developed in the middle of the night before a pot luck where i had promised pasta salad -its very very flexible - wing it!
