Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

This is such a great and easy recipe! I added an extra tomato just because we like them. It was fabulous!

This is a really good, very easy pasta salad. It comes together almost as easily as the boxed pasta salads but WAY BETTER. Love the fresh veggies! I have made it following the recipe ingredient but for a change I used Kraft three cheese crumbles and mini pepperoni. Spreads the flavors even further. 5 Stars!

This is a great tasting and healthy alternative to boxed pasta salads. I substituted gluten free pasta and used 1/2 cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes which added more flavor. My husband ate all of it in a couple days. I was surprised how much he loved it. I'll definitely make this again.

I added about twice as much dressing.
