Dill Vegetable-Pasta Salad

Dill Vegetable-Pasta Salad
“My husband and I often have this delicious pasta salad for lunch or a light supper in the summertime—in lieu of a big meal,” writes Darnell Griffin from her home in Estes Park, Colorado. Chunks of cheese and fresh vegetables eliminate the need for meat, and a light and creamy dill dressing replaces a heavy pasta sauce. Try it!
