..don’t cook in the kitchen! That’s my philosophy at least. The most I could handle cooking is boiling water for pasta – so why not make a pasta salad!
Hot Hot Heat Pasta Salad w/ Balsamic Mustard Dressing
For pasta salad:
1lb of pasta (cooked and cooled)
Jar of marinated artichokes
jar of roasted peppers
1 small head of broccoli
2 zucchini (halved lengthwise then sliced crosswise)
6 small sweet peppers – diced
12 oz can of chickpeas (or bean of choice) - drained and rinsed
2 cups of grape tomatoes – quartered
Mix all ingredients together and toss with dressing.

1/2 cup of olive oil
3 tbs of dijon mustard
1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
2 tbs of agave nectar
