Pasta Salad Recipe

This is a very healthy and nutritious snack/lunch to eat and it's super easy to make ! I got this recipe from my teacher in a nutrition class.

Ingredients:

-Pasta (whole wheat is healthier !)

Avoid stringy type pastas, I used

rotini.

-Vegetables

(I used broccoli and carrots)

-Salad dressing

(choose liquid, non-creamy ones)

-A container with a lid.

1. Cook pasta. I used Ronzoni and I cooked them for 10 minutes. (not too soft, just fully cooked)

2. Use a strainer and get rid of the excess water then put in a container to cool.

3. Cut broccoli and carrots into pieces and blanch them. [ Blanch: boil water, then put vegetables in boiling water for 20 seconds. ]

4. Strain all excess water and put vegetables in your container. Pour in your salad dressing.

5. Close the lid and shake container to mix everything up. Store in fridge and eat when it's cool and salad dressing has sunk in. Enjoy (:
