For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat mayonnaise or adding a dollop of sour cream to the dressing. Enhance the flavor profile by incorporating fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or dill. To cater to those with dietary restrictions or preferences, the mayonnaise can be substituted with a vinaigrette or a dairy-free alternative. The pasta salad benefits from chilling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta thoroughly and rinse under cold running water to halt the cooking process. (Time: 15 minutes)
02
StepIn a capacious serving bowl, gently combine the cooked pasta with broccoli, cauliflower, red onion, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, and celery. Ensure an even distribution of ingredients. (Time: 5 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, distilled white vinegar, and white sugar until a smooth and emulsified dressing is achieved. (Time: 3 minutes)
04
StepPour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables, and carefully toss to coat evenly. Season judiciously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors. (Time: 2 minutes)

May 6, 2024I found the dressing a little too tangy for my taste, so I added a bit more sugar. It was perfect after that!
