2 c. fat-free mayo
1/2 c. Splenda (or sugar)
1/4 c. vinegar

Mix sauce ingredients together and add to pasta & veggies. Mix well. Refrigerate.

For the Crunchies on top:

*Can double the recipe and freeze extras for later*

1 pkg. crushed Ramen noodles (throw out the seasoning packet)
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
1/2 c. slivered almonds
