INSTRUCTIONS

Today's recipe is readily prepared in under 20-minutes. Add a few
fresh ingredients to your grocery list this week and take the weekend
off while you begin to plan your meals ahead of time in order to
minimize your kitchen-time, during the summertime. (At least in the
Northern Hemisphere!)  This particular pasta salad goes well with a
couple barbecued ribs  and a baked potato from the grill so get outside
and enjoy yourself,  as Past Greats continue at Recipe-a-Day!  Prepare
pasta in a large pot of boiling water as directed on the  package until
al dente. Drain and cool. Toss with a teaspoon of olive  oil to keep
from sticking, if desired. Combine peas, red onion, bell  pepper,
Cilantro and squash in a large bowl and add cooled pasta.  Toss to mix.
To prepare salad dressing combine lime juice, Cilantro, olive oil,
sugar, cumin, salt, and black pepper in small bowl. Whisk to
thoroughly blend. Pour over pasta and chill. Serve on a bed of salad
greens topped with the pasta salad. Cover and refrigerate to store.
