Ingredients
- 1 pound pasta noodles Elbow, small shells, or bowties.
- 12 ounce vegetable stir fry mix Or broccoli slaw mix.
- 6 ounces salad dressing I used a vinaigrette dressing.
Instructions

- Open the bag of slaw and chop into smaller pieces if the vegetables are too large.
- In a large bowl combine the cooked pasta and chopped slaw. Toss to combine.
- Add the dressing and toss to coat.

Notes
- Prep all the ingredients up to 2 days in advance to make it stress free.
- Cook the pasta noodles al dente so they don't get mushy when you add the dressing.
- Use your favorite mix of veggies. Those pre-prepped bags in the store are a life saver.
- Switch up the dressing to match your ingredients. You can make a Greek version or an Asian version too.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can mix together.
- Stir just before serving.
