Yield: 1 recipe

 

MMMMM---------------------SALAD INGREDIENTS--------------------------

2 c Elbow macaroni

1/2 c Green bell pepper, diced

1 ea Green onion, sliced

1/2 c Green peas, blanched

1 tb Dijon

1/2 ts Basil

1 tb Parsley

1/2 ts Marjoram

2 ea Garlic cloves, minced

1 ds Tabasco

Salt & pepper

 

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------

1/4 c Cashews

1 c Soy milk

1 1/2 tb Cornstarch

1 tb Lemon juice

 

SALAD: Cook macaroni until al dente. Drain & run under cold water to

stop it cooking. If you prefer a softer pasta, cook it for longer.

 

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the vegetables, herbs &

spices. Mix well & set aside.

 

SAUCE: In a blender or food processor, grind the cashews until they

are a powder, but be careful not to over-process otherwise you will

end up with a nut butter. Add the remaining sauce ingredients &

blend to combine.

 

Pour as much of the sauce as you require over the macaroni &

vegetables & mix. Chill well before serving.

 

NOTE: I think that you might get a thicker sauce if you wanted by

cooking the sauce ingredients first. Heat a touch of olive oil, add

some cornstarch & slowly beat in soy milk. Then follow the procedure

as above. Alternatively, add 1/4 c of tofu after you have ground the

nuts.

 

Any unused sauce will keep in the refrigerator.
