Pasta Salad with creamy dressing

INGREDIENTS

pasta either cooked or raw as needed

For the Salad:

1 zucchini cut into thin slices

1/2 cup mixed vegetables cooked (carrots, broccoli, green beans, cucumber slices, radishes, tomatoes, peas, bell peppers, whatever you have on hand)

Optional: 1/2 cup diced tofu, cottage cheese

For the Dressing:

1/4 cup mayonnaise/ soy 

2 – 3 tbsp honey / maple syrup

1 tbsp lemon juice

 tsp basil (fresh or dried)

1/2 tsp dill

1/2 tsp fresh-ground pepper, or to taste

salt a pinch

Stir to combine

Directions:

cut the zucchini.  Add the diced vegetables and protein.

Coat and toss with dressing.   Doing this 15-20 minutes prior to eating will allow the dressing to soften the noodles and give them a more cooked taste and texture.  Or simply microwave the entire plate of food for 30 seconds if you want it hot.
