Ingredients

1 1/3 Cups Uncooked Acini de Pepe pasta

1 Cup Frozen corn kernels, thawed

1/2 Cup Finely chopped green onions

1/2 Cup Red pepper, finely chopped

1/2 Cup Yellow pepper, finely chopped

1/2 Cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped

3/4 Cup Fat free Italian dressing

1 Tsp Soy sauce (optional)

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Dash Tabasco sauce

Directions

1 Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, prepare vegetables and place in mixing bowl. Combine dressing and soy sauce and set aside.

2 Combine cooked pasta with vegetables. Pour dressing over and mix well. Season with pepper and Tabasco. Chill for 2 hours before serving.

Hint: Acini de pepe is a very small pasta that looks like a large couscous. It can be found in most supermarkets. This is one of my favorite salads. I very often double the recipe because it keeps well in the refrigerator. The fat free dressing may be varied according to your own tastes.
