My2Cents: I use Maple Grove Farms of Vermont dressing because it does not contain oil.  I also use Good Season's seasoning packet because it is dairy-free and oil-free.  Typically, I use whole wheat spiral pasta for this salad, but bow tie works just as well.  Use any bean you like, I tend to favor white beans for this dish.  Try substituting cucumber for the zucchini/squash.
