Floret Pasta Toss

By: Kari Congenie

"This refreshing salad from kari Congenie of Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois is fast to prepare because you can slice the vegetables while the pasta cookes. 'I just threw it together, adding flavors that suited my taste buds,' Kari notes. 'Feel free to add a few of your own.'"
