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
Cook the pasta noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse in cold water, and set aside.
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.
Chill and serve.
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.
