KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS


Makeover - How We Did It
We kept all of the flavor and creaminess of a traditional pasta
salad by using MIRACLE WHIP Light Dressing and KRAFT Light
Zesty Italian Reduced Fat Dressing instead of mayonnaise and
using KRAFT Natural 2% Milk Reduced Fat Colby & Monterey Jack
Cheese Crumbles instead of the full-fat cheese. As a result of
these simple substitutions, this makeover saves 170 calories and
22 grams of fat per serving compared to a traditional pasta salad!

Jazz It Up
Add 1/2 tsp. of your favorite dried herb, such as dill or basil.
