Hope's Colorful Pasta Salad

Hope's Colorful Pasta Salad
  • 2 (16 ounce) packages tri-color pasta
  • 2 heads fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 (8 ounce) bottle red wine vinegar salad dressing
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard


  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the pasta, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse with cool water; drain well in a colander set in the sink; set aside to cool completely.
  2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli, recover, and steam until bright green and still crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli and rinse well with cold water until cold; drain.
  3. Stir together the onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, the cooled pasta, and the cooled broccoli in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar dressing, and dry mustard. Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables; stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
