Makeover - How We Did It

We kept all of the flavour and creaminess of pasta salad by combining Miracle Whip Calorie-Wise Dressing and Kraft Calorie-Wise Zesty Italian Dressing in place of 3/4 cup of mayonnaise and also used Light Cracker Barrell Cheddar Cheese instead of full-fat cheese. Simple substitutions plus adding some colourful vegetables, saves 176 calories and 22 grams of fat per serving making this dish an excellent source of vitamin A compared to a traditional pasta salad!
