Salad
16 oz tri-colored spiral pasta
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1 head of broccoli, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, diced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced
2 oz black olives, sliced
OPTIONAL: diced vegan cheese
Dressing
1/2 cup olive oil
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon dry basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
Directions
Cook the pasta per the instructions on the box.
While the pasta is cooking, wash and dice all the veggies.
Make the dressing by stirring together all dressing ingredients.
When the pasta is done, drain and let sit for a bit to cool (you don't want to steam the veggies in the hot pasta). Once pasta is cooled, stir together all ingredients. Recommended to refrigerate for a hour or two before serving to let the dressing get absorbed.
