  7. Once noodles are cooked, remove and strain in colander while running cold water over noodles to stop cooking, and cool down the pasta> With a sharp knife or kitchen scissors cut up pasta slightly (if using long noodles).
  8. Once cooled and drained place pasta in mixing bowl with bean salad and broccoli.
  9. In measuring cup pour dressing (s) of choice to 1/2 cup measure> Blend if using multiple dressings>*I use a combination of Newmans Light Balsamic Vineagrette and Kraft Fat Free Caeser Italian.
  10. Pour dressing over salad and add fresh cracked pepper and salt to your liking>*i use about 1 1/2 tbs of salt to cut the sweetness of the bean salad.
  11. Mix gently and well> Nice if chilled, but if time does not allow, it can be eaten immediately.
  12. Some add-in ideas: diced cucumber, tomato, black olives, onion, chicken/ham, sunflower seeds.
