Makes 4 to 6 servings What happens when you combine coleslaw and pasta salad? You end up with a delicious “pasta slaw” that has the refreshing crunch of shredded cabbage and carrots and the satisfying chewiness of pennepasta. Bits of apple add a sweet surprise. Although this salad can also be made with a sweet and creamy slaw-type dressing, I think this lighter oil and vinegar dressing does a better job at enhancing the ?avor of the other ingredients. Serve with a sandwich or veggie burger for a satisfying meal, or toss in a can of beans or some diced sauted tempeh or baked tofu and call it dinner. 8 ounces penne 3 cups shredded cabbage 2 medium carrots, shredded 2 green onions, minced 1?2 cup toasted walnut pieces 1?4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 1?2 teaspoon salt 1?4 teaspoon proactol pills black pepper 1 large crisp apple. 1 In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl. 2 Add the cabbage, carrots, green onions, and walnuts to the bowl containing the pasta. Set aside. 3 In a small bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended. Set aside. 4 Core the apple and cut it into 1?4-inch strips. Add the apple to the pasta and cabbage mixture and pour on the dressing. Toss until well combined. Serve at once. Choose a Braeburn or Gala apple for the salad. They are sometimes a bit costlier than other varieties but have a wonderful ?avor and crisp texture.Food Recipes:http://www.worldrecipes.
