Asian Pasta Salad

Monday, July 13, 2015
I've been on the hunt for vegan friendly recipes.  My brothers at my house this summer, which means I have someone to share calories with....except...he won't consume any animal based calories.  We both run....these days I mostly run from things I'm scared of, or towards really fabulous shopping deals, he runs marathons.  So, pasta is good for fueling those runs too.  
This was a yummy salad I tried out after finding the recipe at aestheticnest.  You can serve it hot or cold, but I loved it cold.  You can also add whatever vegetables you want.  My pocketbook only wanted to add snow peas and a red pepper this week.  In addition-I think this one is pretty much a no fail.  If you like Asian/soy based dressings, try it out.
