I always put use WG pasta, light shredded cheese, tomatoes, olives, bell peppers and broccoli (sometimes some pine nuts). Veggies vary on what im in the mood for BUT i always use FF Zezty Italian dressing for the sauce/dressing. that keeps the cals a little lower and i like the taste better than mayo. 2tbs of dressing go a lot farther than 2 tbs of mayo

I definitely like the vegetables to be a significant part of a salad and the pasta to be an "accessory". I used to be disappointed at pot luck pasta salads that were mostly pasta and mayo with a garnish of vegetables. Now I'm not disappointed because I don't serve myself any of these dishes.
I love cold vegetables salads in the summer.
