Jamie's Easy Pasta Salad Ingredients

Suggestions and Recipe:
- Have all your ingredients ready before you start. It will help you move through the steps easier since this is a quick recipe to make without a lot of downtime between steps.
- You can use any veggies you like. I typically use carrots and broccoli since all my children eat those, but it’s also great with peppers or cherry tomatoes.
- This makes a good-sized batch. Have a large container or multiple small ones ready so you can refrigerate after making it and have it ready to serve.
