Weight Watchers Pasta Salad

For this salad, I prefer penne pasta since it does a nice job holding the flavor of the dressing. Bow tie pasta would also work well in this weight watchers pasta salad as would whole wheat pasta.

After you cook the pasta according to package directions, you'll want to rinse it under cold water and set it aside.

Now it is time to prepare the vegetables and other ingredients.
