Minestroni Pasta Salad


This salad is a summer staple at our house. It's really easy to make, nutritious, feels light, but filling. I'm sure it is meant to be a side dish but we eat it for a main dish and it lasts for a few days.
- One box pasta cooked: We use penne or shells
- Baby carrots chopped into large chunk
- 1 green pepper chopped into large chunk
- 1 can red Kidney beans
- 1 can Garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- Italian dressing
- Parmesan Cheese
Mix all ingredients together and toss with dressing to liking. Spinkle with more cheese. Enjoy!
