S.S. Salad

This is a pasta salad that my family has been making for years...so yummy! So I wanted to health-ify it. It still isn't as nutritious as eating all greens but we need some carbs too right.

2 bags whole wheat shaped pasta, cooked (ie. rotini, penne, etc)
2 tomato, chopped
1 large cucumber, sliced
1 red onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1/2 bottle of Light Zesty Italian Dressing (this dressing is key..must be Kraft Zesty Italian Light, not fat free!)
After cooking the pasta, run cold water over it in colander until chilled. Place in a large bowl and add vegetables. Stir in dressing until well mixed. Chill at least 1 hour.
You can add more or less veggies or noodles to this depending on your party size or preference. Just add dressing to your liking. So yummy!
