1 box or bag tri-color bowtie pasta or spiral tri-color pasta
1 small onion, white or purple
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese or 2 c. shredded colby cheese
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved or 2 c. diced tomatoes
1 bottle Kraft (sun-dried tomato) salad dressing

Prepare pasta as directed. Drain and cool. To cool in a hurry, put ice cubes in pasta. Once cooled, after a minute or so, drain again. Slice and quarter the onion. Dice the tomatoes or halve the grape tomatoes. When pasta is ready, add remaining ingredients. Mix together gently. As a variation, cut up broccoli and add to salad.
