Instructions
Place cooked, cooled pasta in a large bowl along with vegetables and cheese, toss together.
Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour dressing over pasta, vegetables and cheese. If you prefer your pasta salad on the drier side, you may not want to add all of the dressing; use your discretion. Stir to combine. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Note: Add diced ham or crumbled bacon, if desired.
