Preparation
 



Cook the pasta until tender. At the same time, cook the
carrots and sweetcorn in a second pot of salted water for 2-
3 minutes.


Add in the snow peas and carrots, cook for another 2
minutes (carrot test: should be tender but still slightly
crispy). Drain all the veggies and refresh under cold
water. Drain.


Place veggie mixture into a mixing bowl, add the purple
onions and toss.


Drain your pasta and refresh it under cold water as well.
Mix the vegetables.


Mix the vinegar, oil, mustard powder and dressing in a
jar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.


Pour over the salad and toss well. Can be served
immediately or chilled in the fridge.


*alternative: Adding some vegan mayoat the end
makes a creamier salad with a bit more tang.
