Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 lb. pasta (ruffles, rotini, wagon wheels or elbows)
- 2 cups (or thereabouts) fresh or frozen peas
- 1-2 red bell peppers, diced small
- 8 oz. seitan, diced small
- 8 oz. bottle of "Annie's Naturals" Goddess Dressing
Directions:
Cook the pasta until al dente. Rinse in cold water, and let drain. While pasta is cooking,
steam the peas until tender; rinse in cold water to stop cooking. Combine all the
ingredients together, and stir until nicely mingled. Adjust amounts of ingredients
according to your own taste. Serve chilled (my preference) or at room temperature. This is
superb potluck fare!
Note: Annie's Goddess Dressing is made in Vermont but seems to be fairly widely marketed
(I find it in health food stores in Florida). To give you an idea of how it tastes, its
ingredients include: expeller pressed canola oil, water, tahini, cider vinegar, shoyu,
lemon juice, salt, garlic, toasted sesame seeds, parsley, chives, xanthan gum. Beware: One
taste, and you'll be hooked!
