CONTEST-WINNING PICNIC PASTA SALAD
My family's not big on traditional pasta salads made with mayonnaise, so when I served this colorful version that uses Italian dressing, it was a big hit. This crowd-pleaser is loaded with vegetables, beans and tricolor pasta. It's one of the best picnic salad ideas! -Felicia Fiocchi, Vineland, New Jersey

PEPPY PASTA PICNIC SALAD
Colorful, healthy salad. Have this salad as one to be served along side a green salad and your favorite BBQ. Do not mix your meat and Yogurt dressing with the pasta ingredients until you are at your picnic- it only takes a minute to toss them together. I recommend that you use "HOT" pepperoni sticks not the usual pizza pepperoni. If you don't like too much spice use medium pepperoni but this salad is meant to be spicy or it will be boring. If you do not want to be bothered roasting your garlic just crush it and saute it in a tsp butter for 3 minutes. I say 6 servings this would be as a side salad and depends on the appetites of your group
