Try this with the flavored noodles – spinach, tomato, etc.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pasta – shells, spiral, etc.
• 5 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 cucumber cut into small pieces
• 3 tomatoes diced
• 1/2 red onion diced
• 1/4 lb mushrooms sliced
• 12 olives, sliced (green or ripe – your choice)
• 1 bottle Bernstein’s Italian dressing

Directions:

1. Cook pasta.
2. Mix with vegetables.
3. Marinate it all in the dressing, making sure you have plenty of dressing – enough to puddle in the bottom of the bowl.
4. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Serves: 6-8
