- Here's a great recipe for the hotter weather:
-
- Dressing - combine all ingredients and let sit while you prepare the rest:
- 1/4 c rice vinegar
- 2T olive oil
- 2 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 1/2 t sugar
- 1 1/2 t dried basil
- 2 T dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
-
- Salad
- 16 oz cooked fusilli pasta
- 1/2 c slightly steamed snow peas, green beans, or zuchinni
- 1/2 c any color chopped sweet bell pepper
- 6 scallions (green onions) chopped
- 1/2 c chopped tomatos (plum is best) drained
- 1 c yellow raisins (do not substitute)
- 1 c (or more) finely chopped fresh basil
-
- Optional garnish:
-
- 1/2 c coarsely chopped nuts
- crumbled feta cheese
- sliced black olives
-
- Combine fusilli pasta and other ingredients in a very large mixing bowl
- and toss with dressing. Serve or refrigerate. This salad travels well
- and will keep about a week in the refrigerator. (I use ziploc bags to save
- space.)
-
- Note for those on lowfat diets: This salad, without the optional
- garnish, gets less than 10% of its calories from fat. Adding the
- garnishes will add substantial fat calories, as nuts, cheese and olives
- are more than 80% fat by calories, and it's great without them. Using
- whole wheat fusilli(Trader Joe's) improves the nutritional value.
