carol, i make a salad that has broccoli, zuccini tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and any other vegetable you like in it. cut them up in bite sizes. then cook linguini pasta, 1lb. carol i forgot to tell you to rinse the pasta under cold water, add 1-16oz bottle of italian dressing and a couple of shakes of salad supreme made by mccormicks and found in the seasoning section of your grocery store. you could add more if you'd like i usually do. Put in frig til ready to serve. This salad is a big hit everytime i make it. if you have any questions don't hasitate to ask. good luck
