Ingredients:
1 bag or box of noodles
Kraft Zesty Italian Salad Dressing
Fresh Veggies of your choice
Directions:
Cook noodles as directed on package. I used a package of Wacky Mac noodles because they were free after coupon at my local grocery store.
While the noodles are cooking, cut up fresh veggies. Today, I used tomatoes, cucumber and green pepper. I've also used the following ingredients in the past: fresh broccoli, onion, squash, and zucchini. You could also add pepperoni to spice it up a bit.
Drain the noodles.
Combine noodles, veggies and zesty italian dressing. I use about 8 ozs. (half of the bottle pictured below) of salad dressing. You may want to add more--depending on how many vegetables and noodles you use. For best results, I refrigerate it for the day or overnight so the flavor is absorbed into the vegetables and noodles.I made this entire bowl of pasta salad for approximately $2.51. Here is a breakdown of the cost:
Wacky Mac Noodles: FREE after coupon
Kraft Salad Dressing: .05 cents (half of a 16 oz. bottle discussed HERE)
1 cucumber: .99 cents
1 tomato: .72 cents
1/2 green pepper: .75 cents

Oh man, my little brothers LOVE pasta salad. They would eat it for every meal if they could. Funny thing though, they only eat the pasta & Italian dressing :p Any idea how to get the ten and under set to eat the veggies too?
This stuff is SOOOO good! I am coming up next time you make it; so be prepared :)
I freaking LOVE pasta salad. Hubby likes it with meat and cheese though. A little more expensive taste on his part lol lol. :) LOVE it :)
