BEEF AND PASTA SALAD

Have you started your new year's diet yet? You can ease into by trying this substantial salad recipe. I say substantial because it has meat protein in it.

This one is really good! I think its the dressing that does it. Nothing special, but I always go back for seconds. Then again, maybe its the cherry tomatoes.

BEEF AND PASTA SALAD

• 3 cups rotini, cooked and drained
• 1 lb. boneless stir-fry beef strips
