My absolute favorite thing to eat in the summer........Pasta Salad!! We all probably all grew up with our mom's old fashioned pasta salad and we loved it, but isn't it time for a new version? You can put just about any veggie in it, whatever comes out of your garden or CSA / farm market share, but this is my base for it (alter it as you wish and please share it with us!). So let's say 1 box of pasta (i like brown rice mini penne) cooked al-dente. Rinse with cold water until cooled completely. Then in a bowl mix 1 & 1/2 c Follow Your Heart Vegan Mayo, 2 T juice from black olives, 2 tsp. dill, 1/4 c chopped parsley, and salt & pepper to taste - whisk well. Then add pasta, some chopped broccoli, yellow pepper, cucumber, carrots & celery. And sliced in halves - black olives & cherry tomatoes. Mix and chill. Lasts for a week or more in the fridge. SO good and light, low in cholesterol and super tasty. I recommend chopped up snow peas or snap peas, radishes and even greens or other fresh herbs if you have 'em.....just in time for a 4th of July picnic.
