Kraft Kitchen Tips

Makeover - How We Did It
We kept all of the flavor and creaminess of a traditional pasta salad by preparing with KRAFT Lite Zesty Italian Dressing and KRAFT Natural 2% Milk Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese Crumbles, and using MIRACLE WHIP Light Dressing instead of mayonnaise. As a result of these simple substitutions, this make over saves 160 calories and 20g of fat per serving when compared to that of a traditional pasta salad.
Special Extra
Add 1/2 tsp. of your favorite dried herb, such as dill or basil.
Make Ahead
Salad can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before serving.

NUTRITION INFORMATION
Boost the nutrition of this summer favorite with the addition of vegetables. This recipe is high in both vitamin A from the carrots and vitamin C from the red peppers. And as a bonus, it's also a good source of calcium from the cheese crumbles. Eating right never tasted so good.
