Cooking with Kids: Vegan Pasta Salad Recipe

Cooking with Kids Vegan Pasta

Now that summer is just around the corner, I am revising my lunch menus to include foods that use less energy to heat up and are quick and tasty. Pasta salad is a typical side dish that has many variations. Below I share a vegan pasta salad that we enjoyed as family. My kids are not fond of raw onions so next times I will use chives to add flavor.

• 1 box of macaroni
• 1 cup Vegenaise
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Bragg Organic apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of dill weed
• 1 teaspoon McKays Chicken Style Instant Broth & Seasoning
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped

Directions

Cook the macaroni as recommended on the packaging or for about 8 minutes.

Cool the macaroni with cool water. Let your kids help you combine all measured ingredients together. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Serve.
