WHOLE WHEAT ROTINI PASTA SALAD

Fabulous light pasta salad with carrots, asparagus, tomatoes, and green onions. It gets better the longer it marinates, so don't be afraid to prepare it ahead of time and stick it in the refrigerator a few hours.

WHOLE WHEAT MACARONI SALAD

This recipe is a combination of some really good macaroni salads. I love macaroni salad but I never buy it - too soupy in the stores and I hardly make it - I couldn't find a good recipe. We really liked this one. It has lots of veggies in it too - lots of crunch!
