As-You-Like-It Pasta Salad

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes.

While the pasta cooks, chop the red onion, tomato, and pepper; slice the zucchini and carrots; and chop the celery and broccoli.

Drain the cooked pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it completely.

Transfer the cooled pasta to a large mixing bowl and add the chopped red onion, tomato, zucchini, celery, carrots, pepper, green beans, and broccoli.

Pour the low-fat salad dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture, then toss gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as desired, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
