    Reviews rated this recipe 4.5 of 5 stars.
    MAKES: 5 servings
    Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

    My husband and son detested pasta salad before I came up with this one. But there were no leftovers the very first time I served this—now it's a summertime family favorite! Filled with fresh, crunchy radishes and celery, juicy tomatoes and cucumbers, this nutritious recipe is one to try with your gang. —Melody Loyd, Parowan, Utah

    Ingredients:
    1 cup uncooked tricolor spiral pasta
    1/2 cup chopped seeded cucumber
    1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
    1/2 cup chopped red onion
    1/2 cup sliced radishes
    1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
    1/2 cup sliced ripe olives, drained
    1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
    1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/8 teaspoon pepper

    1 tablespoon Italian salad dressing mix
    2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
    2 tablespoons olive oil

    Directions:
    Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cucumber, celery, onion, radishes, tomatoes, olives, cheese, garlic powder and pepper. Drain pasta and rinse in cold water; stir into vegetable mixture.

    In a bowl, whisk the dressing mix, vinegar and oil. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
