Once in a while we all look for quick, yet nutritious meals to make. This salad can be served as a main or as a side dish, it is up to you and how hungry you are; and it takes less than 20 minutes to make it. You will enjoy the taste of whole wheat pasta, mixed with fresh vegetables (something most people don’t get enough of) and beans. I used a vegan substitute mayo in this salad. However, I would like to caution you. If you use substitutes do so sparingly. Do not overindulge! It won’t be useful to have changed your diet to become a vegan junk-food eater. Your goal is to consume a whole foods diet, meaning that your foods should be as close to their natural state as possible. That is the reason that if I do cook any of my vegetables I do so at very low temperatures and for very short periods of time.
Enjoy!!!
