    Ingredients
    1 large (900g/2 lbs. in Canada) bag of pasta, any shape (spirals, penne, radiatore, etc.)
    4 to 6 carrots, sliced or diced
    2 red peppers, diced
    1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
    1 large, or 2 medium zucchini, diced
    1 dozen radishes, sliced
    1/2 head small red cabbage, shredded
    2 medium tomatoes, ripe, diced
    1/2 to 1 English cucumber, diced
    1 to 1-1/2 cups fresh peas, cooked or raw, or frozen peas
    1/2 cup kernel corn (if desired)
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 large bottle of Italian-type salad dressing, something non-creamy

    Method:
    Cook pasta as directed on package. Drain, rinse and let cool.
    Throw all the vegetables together in a very large bowl or bin. You’ll need room to mix it all.
    Pour half the bottle of salad dressing over everything. Mix well. Taste and see if it needs more dressing. If so, continue adding until you reach desired taste. Chill until serving.
