Dill Vegetable-Pasta Salad image

"My husband and I often have this delicious pasta salad for lunch or a light supper in the summertime-in lieu of a big meal," writes Darnell Griffin from her home in Estes Park, Colorado. Chunks of cheese and fresh vegetables eliminate the need for meat, and a light and creamy dill dressing replaces a heavy pasta sauce. Try it!

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. I would have preferred a lighter dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I also like to add some cooked chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
