Vegeterian Tips: Reduce your refined sugar intake. I ve got as much of a sweet tooth as anybody, but I try to keep it under control by using such sugar replacers as maple syrup, stevia and agave whenever possible such as in coffee and tea and indulging in the refined stuff only occasionally.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 lb tri-color pasta (corkscrew type works best)
- 1 bunch broccoli
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly into circles
- 1 small red pepper, cut into 1″ square pieces
- 1 cucumber, peeled, halved and cut into thin slices
- 1 or 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 bottle fat-free Italian dressing
Directions:
Cook pasta, drain and rinse with cold water. Cut broccoli into florets
(save stalks for another use) and cook in microwave for a minute or so
(or you can blanch it in some hot water – this brings out the color and
flavor). Rinse with cold water.
Put pasta, broccoli and the rest of the vegetables in a big bowl. Chill
well. Just before serving, pour dressing over pasta and vegetables and
stir well. You can add whatever vegetbles you like, but don”t skimp o
the red pepper — it adds a wonderful sweetness.
