Cafeteria-Style Pasta Salad
You know that pasta salad they have on every salad bar in America? Well, this is how you make it.
• 1 (12 ounce) package of rainbow rotini
• 2 cups of broccoli florets, cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can of corn, drained and rinsed
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1 cup of prepared Italian dressing
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste
Toss the corn and beans into a colander, rinse, then add broccoli on top. Boil pasta and drain in the same colander with the veggies. Let sit for 5 minutes, this softens up the broccoli. Put the corn, beans, broccoli, and pasta in a large bowl with the remaining ingredients. Toss and chill for at least 3 hours.
