and then she snapped: meatless monday

meatless monday

I'm not vegan, and I hate pasta salad. So when my sister asked me to bring a vegan pasta salad to her Fathers' Day BBQ I was determined to make something that even I would eat. I gathered up some ingredients (I kept wanting to add cheese. or bacon.)

I cooked the pasta, tossed it with some garlic, sliced the tomatoes, tore the basil, sliced and quartered the cucumber, and halved the artichoke hearts, and threw some corn in there. (I really really wanted to throw in some cheese. or bacon.)


Tossed with some balsamic vinaigrette, and salt to taste. Then a little more vinaigrette, and a little more salt.


It was not bad. Even I ate some. (Would've eaten more if it had some cheese. or bacon.)

    Haha! That looks pretty yummy, though... but I agree. It would have been better with cheese. or bacon. :)

    Now I want some pasta salad.... uh oh, thanks for starting a pregnancy craving!

    TeenOne is vegetarian. I'm always forgetting and putting bacon in stuff. She eats turkey, so sometimes I just lie and tell her it's turkey bacon. Doh!
