Collaboration is Great!

Last night I made two simple and delicious dishes. My sister-in-law and I collaborated on both of these on a recent visit. The roasted vegetables have become a staple... the pasta salad is just fabulous.

Roasted Vegetables
Several cups of chopped veggies (I used zucchini, portabello mushrooms, red onion, new potatoes (steamed in the microwave for 5 minutes), and red pepper)
Bottled salad dressing - vinaigrette style (last night I used Asian style vinaigrette, have used sun-dried tomato and balsamic in the past)

Place veggies in a baking dish and coat with vinaigrette and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Awesome Pasta Salad IV
8 oz whole grain rotini pasta - cooked and drained
1 jar artichoke and capers bread dip (from the Bread Dip Co.)*
1 red pepper, chopped
3 green onions, slivered
1/2 cup feta cheese
4-5 sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil), rinsed and chopped

Combine above and season to taste with salt and pepper

*could use 1 can artichoke hearts (chopped very small), 2 TBS capers, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 TBS lemon juice, 1 clove garlic (minced) and 1 tsp dried oregano
