• Chopped fresh parsley, to taste

Instructions

Add pasta to 6 cups of boiling water. Cook 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and add the onion, celery and poppy seed dressing to hot pasta and toss together. Add the vegetables, if using frozen vegetables this will cool pasta quickly. Add fresh chopped parsley.
