Veggie pasta salad

One time this Italian patient of mine brought me lunch. It was left over from the pasta salad she made for her church gathering.
I thought - aww how sweet!
Until I tasted it........
It was AMAZING!
I  have never tasted pasta salad that tasted this yummy before. I mean... it was filled with alot of veggies... who could make that taste so good?! But she did!

So every time she came in after that I have been hinting about how amazing it was, and she continues to talk about all the different kinds of foods she likes to make or the foods that she makes that her kids like etc....

Finally the other day I kinda got the ingredients for this pasta salad. Seems to be no big deal so Im sure there is something she may have left out... or maybe she just has that extra touch when it comes to making delicious dishes.

Here is the mix:

• red pepper
• carrots
• celery
• green beans
• peas
• zucchini (she seems to like a lot of this)
• a grated pickle
• either italian golden dressing or your own mix of olive oil, vinegar, lemon, garlic, parsley, oregano (dont remember if there was basil)

Ta da!
Now I just have to make time to test it out.
