Veggie salad (also vegan)
1 box-Chick pea pasta -curly or other shape (if you can't find chick pea use something fortified with extra protein) I buy mine at Sprouts.
1-can corn kernels (frozen and thawed would taste better)
1- can black beans (you could use white beans or navy if you prefer)
1/2 chopped red onion (small dice)
1/2 chopped green pepper-medium dice
1 chopped and pealed cucumber-medium dice
Cook the pasta according to package instructions then drain. Add your corn to a hot hot hot non-stick skillet and try to get good toasty color. Drain and rinse your black beans...all other beans could just be drained.
Chop your veggies (you could add others if you think they would mix well), and add all of your ingredients together in a bowl.
Add any kind of dressing you would like...I use a light orange juice based dressing on mine, but any kind of vinegar based dressing would be good as well.
