Pasta Salad

Ingredients

 

*   Pasta – 1 cup
*   Vegetables – 2 cups*
*   Yogurt – 14 – 1/2 cup
*   Olive oil -2 tsp
*   Mustard powder/paste – 1-2 tsp
*   Sugar – 1 tsp
*   Pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
*   Salt
 

Preparation

Cook the pasta in 2 cups of water with 1 tsp olive oil & salt. Drain the water completely & let it cool.

Beat the yogurt well and add 1 tsp olive oil, mustard powder/paste, sugar, pepper powder & salt. Combine well. Add the cooled pasta and veggies. Mix well so that the pasta and veggies are coated with the yogurt dressing. Refrigerate for 2 hours, serve chilled.

For the healthier version, use brown/organic pasta and no/low fat yogurt.

* You can use any veggies that you like, though I strongly recommend capsicum and celery since it gives a special flavor. I have used carrot, cucumber, capsicum, spring onion, celery & lettuce.
