Here’s a nice pasta salad that you can keep vegetarian if you would like. It has all kinds of nutrients in it and is very easy to make. If you want to keep this for a few days, keep the tomatoes separate. Here is what you need for this:
Serves six
12 oz. cooked al-dente whole wheat pasta
1 large carrot – grated
1 small cucumber – peeled, seeded and chopped
2 tomatoes – peeled and chopped
1 celery stalk – chopped
2 scallions – chopped
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken*
½ cup sliced ripe olives
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1/8 cup olive oil
Place all the ingredients – except for the oil, salt and pepper – in a bowl. Mix well.
Add the salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss to mix well and serve. Enjoy!
*If you want to keep this vegetarian omit the chicken.
Hi Syaa!
I am sorry for the delay but I was in Australia and had no internet access. I am sure you do not need an answer anymore but, as a rule of thumb, you want the pasta to be al-dente. In other words, you do not want to over cook it and make it mushy. That takes anywhere between 15 to 20 minutes. Thank you and sorry again.
