Winter Pasta Salad


Ready In: 45 Minutes
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • Prepare Salad: Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just done. Drain and rinse thoroughly to cool. Place in large mixing bowl and toss with olive oil.
  • Chop broccoli and cauliflower so the pieces are bite-size or smaller. You should have 5 to 6 cups. Blanch in boiling water to cover for 45 seconds to tenderize slightly and set color. Plunge into ice water to stop cooking; drain. Soften sun-dried tomatoes in boiling water to cover for about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes and red pepper [see below] with pasta. Toss.
  • 4. Prepare Dressing: Combine chicken broth, vinegar, garlic, mustard and oregano in blender. Pour into small bowl and whisk in olive oil. (Salad can be held for several hours, up to 1 day, by refrigerating pasta and dressing in separate airtight containers.)
  • Before serving, allow salad and dressing to return to room temperature, if possible. Remix dressing, pour over salad and toss. Add salt and pepper to taste.
