In our new recipe for Potluck Pasta Salad, get as creative as you please with a long list of ‘add-ins’ and two kinds of dressing. Choose crisp-tender cooked vegetables, including zucchini and green beans from your garden. Then add raw veggies like tomatoes and leafy spinach just prior to serving for just-picked freshness.
