Description

This salad's delicious dressing is popular with my children as a dip for vegetables (I make a bottle of it to keep in the refrigerator). The salad is great for lunch boxes, or as a side dish served warm or cold. Use three-color pasta, if possible.

Ingredients

5 oz (150 g) pasta bows (farfalle)

2 oz (60 g) green beans

1/2 cup (60 g) sliced carrots

1/2 cup (100 g) frozen corn

4 cherry tomatoes, quartered

2 Tbsp (30 g) grated onion

4 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 Tbsp white wine vinegar

2 Tbsp water

1/2 tsp chopped fresh ginger

1 Tbsp chopped celery

1 Tbsp soy sauce

1 1/2 tsp tomato paste

1 tsp superfine sugar

salt and pepper, to taste

pepper

Directions

Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes, or according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, put the beans and carrots in a steamer and cook for 4 minutes. Add the corn to the steamer and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.
Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a blender or food processor, adding only a little salt and pepper, and process until smooth. Combine the cooked pasta with the vegetables and cherry tomatoes and toss with some of the dressing.
Variation: Add 2 Tbsp (30 g) diced cucumber, 1/2 cup (75 g) diced cold chicken or tuna to this salad, and vary the vegetables, according to taste.
