Pasta Primavera Salad image

This is a very fresh, colorful, and vitamin and nutrient rich salad. One large pot of boiling water does all the cooking for the vegetables in this salad. The addition of the vegetables has been timed so that they're all done at the same time. Using a strainer to remove the vegetables from the water stops the cooking fast and leaves you with a hot, lightly seasoned broth to boil the pasta in. From Vegetarian Times.

I'm not a big fan of pasta salads, but this one is really good. The vegetables are roasted to perfection and the dressing is light and tangy.
