Pasta Salad

This pasta is great for lunch or dinner. It makes an ideal summer meal as the only cooking required is the pasta. Add your favourite salad ingredients and some dressing and you're done!

• 12 oz rainbow pasta
• 1 cup cubed ham - leave out for a vegetarian option
• 1 1/2 cups cubed cheese (or grated)
• 3 cups assorted raw vegetables such as:
• broccoli
• cucumber
• aubergine
• green, yellow or red peppers
• Bottled Salad dressing

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Cut ham and cheese into small cubes.

Wash vegetables and chop them into small pieces.

Mix all ingredients with your favourite salad dressing. Italian works great!

Variation: you can substitute other favourite pasta such as macaroni, tortellini, shells, etc.

tot tip: Keep the ingredients separate and let your child pick what he wants and choose whether or not he wants dressing on his.
