Vegetables Pasta Cold Salad:
Late in the afternoon, is the bad time…for most dieters and weight watchers! We indulge in any kind of snack that is presented! When glucose levels drop…not everyone could make a healthy choice! What if we already packed a snack for our high tea time!:) Doesn’t that sound kool!
My friend Tina, once prepared this cold salad for me! And I really liked it! She said…tossed all the veggies and dressed them up with mayonnaise!
Ingredients:
Pasta(multi grain/omega 3 fortified)1 cup
Jalapenos 1 medium (deseed & slice)
Olives green 4 sliced
Olives black 4 sliced
Purple onion chopped 6 spoons
Roma tomato 1 chopped
Zucchini 1/2 chopped
Vinegar 2-4 cap full
Mayonnaise 4-6 spoons
Ragu sauce 4-6 spoons
Olive oil 2-4 spoons.
Method:
Cook pasta, as per the directions, drain the water and set aside.
In a wide salad bowl, bring all the ingredients vegetables and add vinegar to it. Let this sit for some time.
Then mix pasta to it. Further ass the mayonnaise and ragu sauce, mix well. Refrigerate them for about 4-6 hours. As they sit for couple of hours…vinegar works on the vegetables and pasta…make them delectable!
Serve cold as a salad. It could be a filling meal in between your meal time!
