20-Minute Rainbow Veggie Pasta Salad

Healthy, colorful, and so delicious – this 20-minute Rainbow Veggie Pasta Salad will quickly become a Summer staple in your recipe rotation!

This very well may be the easiest, yummiest, bold and beautiful pasta salad I’ve ever made! With a slew of healthy veggies in the ingredient list and a teeny-tiny 20 minute time tag (maaaaaybe 25 minutes if you really take your time), there’s really no reason NOT to make this asap. It’s one of those MUST EAT meals!

Alright, my friends —> on to the good stuff. Recipe details!!!

To make this heavenly pasta salad situation you’ll need the following:

Roasted red peppers and cherry tomatoes (the red!)

An orange bell pepper (the orange!)

A tiny yellow zucchini (the yellow!)

A green zucchini, broccoli, basil, and parsley (all of the green!)

A small red onion (which in this case, is our purple!)

I know… I know… you’re wondering where the blue is, right? To my knowledge there are no blue veggies on the market at this time, and blueberries wouldn’t be a very good mix-in for this salad, so alas, our rainbow veggie salad is one color sort. We can live with that, right?

Ok, now for the dressing part of this post…

Olive oil and red wine vinegar lots of chopped garlic a dash of Italian seasoning dijon salt and pepper = an easy dressing that just explodes with flavor! In the method below I write to simply combine everything in a bowl and whisk away, but you could also blend this in a mixer for a less chunky outcome. The second time I made this I tossed a handful of fresh basil into the blender too – SO GOOD. <
