BROCCOLI, CHERRY TOMATO, & PASTA SALAD
I found this recipe in Cooking Light magazine years ago and, even though it takes a bit of time to prepare, it's still a favorite! I usually don't use the dill (although I do like it when I happen to have it on hand), and I use 1/4 cup of sliced green onions instead of the shallots.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but I loved this recipe! The dressing is so flavorful that it really masks the taste of the broccoli. I also liked the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes, which added a nice sweetness.
