Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 lb tri-color pasta (corkscrew type works best)
- 1 bunch broccoli
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly into circles
- 1 small red pepper, cut into 1" square pieces
- 1 cucumber, peeled, halved and cut into thin slices
- 1 or 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 bottle fat-free Italian dressing
Directions:
Cook pasta, drain and rinse with cold water. Cut broccoli into florets
(save stalks for another use) and cook in microwave for a minute or so
(or you can blanch it in some hot water - this brings out the color and
flavor). Rinse with cold water.
Put pasta, broccoli and the rest of the vegetables in a big bowl. Chill
well. Just before serving, pour dressing over pasta and vegetables and
stir well. You can add whatever vegetbles you like, but don't skimp on
the red pepper -- it adds a wonderful sweetness.
