Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Roma (plum) tomatoes are a perfect choice for pasta salads. Their meaty texture stands up to tossing without a lot of juice to make the salad soggy.
  • tip 2
    Make it a main dish: Stir in leftover cooked meat or a can of drained, rinsed beans.
