FOR THE DRESSING

In a small bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients. Mix until well-blended; set aside. If not serving immediately, cover and chill until ready to use.

Place the cooled rotini in a large bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients, except the dressing. Cover and chill until ready to use.

Just before serving, mix the dressing again and toss into the salad.

Note: This is a really simple throw-together dressing that works well with other seasonings, fresh herbs, lime juice instead of lemon, and even lowfat mayonnaise and yogurt, too. You can enjoy this creamy dressing as above for a hearty summer meal, or simply serve it as a smooth dressing for your tossed green salad.
