Recipe - Cool and Classic Vegan Pasta Salad

Nothing says summer like cool refreshing pasta salad.  Here is our vegan take on this:

What we need:
1 box Ronzoni Garden Delight rotini pasta
3/4 medium red pepper
1/2 small white onion
2 med roma tomatoes - seeded
1/2 cucumber
1 celery stalk
1 bottle fat free and light zesty italian dressing

Prepare pasta according to package directions.  While pasta water warms up and pasta cooks cut up all vegetables in to 1/4" X 1/4" chunks. (larger if desired)  Place all but onion in a serving bowl.  Leave onion for last as to not overpower the other vegetables.  When pasta is done cooking drain and put in refrigerator to cool.  Pasta should be cold to touch.  Add cool pasta, onions and 1/2 bottle of the dressing to vegetables in serving bowl.  Stir carefully to combine ingredients.  Add more dressing to achieve your desired coating.  Salt and pepper to taste if desired.

One of my favorite summertime foods, this pasta salad is de-lish!
Enjoy!
