Veggie Pasta Salad...

So this just may be the yummiest pasta salad...it is packed with nutritious veggies and tossed with a light dressing. A super family favorite...

1 Pkg Multi Colored Pasta
1 Can Medium Olives
3-4 Medium Carrots
1 Cucumber
1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 Small Broccoli Crowns
1 Cup Bottled Parmasean Cheese
1-2 Small Packages of Pine Nuts
1 Bottle Lite Italian Dressing

Cook pasta according to package...rinse and set aside to cool. Peel and cut carrots into 3 inch julienne style pieces and steam al dente. Cut Broccoli into small florets and steam al dente. Open and drain the olives. Peel and cut the cucumber into cubes. You can use the tomatoes whole or slice in half. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except pine nuts. Toss in the cheese and salad dressing. Sprinkle pine nuts right before serving...watch this salad vanish right before your eyes. Note: When making this salad ahead of time be prepared to add additional salad dressing because the pasta absorbs the moisture.
