Chill Chasing Matchstick Vegetable Pasta Salad
For this #SundaySupper event we want to see your favorite Winter Salads! Winter Salads can be crunchy, sweet, and savory with fresh greens and tossed with seasonal fruits and vegetables, or maybe you prefer a comforting root vegetable salad or a salad made with rice or beans. The possibilities are endless! What is your favorite winter salad?
I don’t normally think of salad when the temperature is single digits. Chill Chasing Matchstick Vegetable Pasta Salad lights a fire under your tastebuds! Slender “Matchstick” cut broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and red bell pepper ignite carb packed ditalini.
Together these foods get your internal furnace cranked. Carbohydrates are your body’s main source of fuel. Have you ever felt warmer after eating a big plate of spaghetti? Balanced with vegetables, this salad won’t pack on the fat. Remember everything in moderation. 😉
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked ditalini or similar pasta
- 1 cup thinly sliced mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, red peppers)
- 1 tablespoon minced chives
- 1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons apple juice or apple juice concentrate
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toss together cooked pasta, vegetables and chives.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients. Pour over pasta and vegetables. Stir to coat.
- Refrigerate at least one hour to blend flavors.
