Asian Pasta Salad

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine the coarsely chopped ginger with scallions and smashed garlic and pulse until chopped. Add the fish sauce (feel free to start with only 2 tablespoons), soy sauce, lime juice and sugar and process until smooth. Taste and adjust any ingredients as needed.

Step 2

Place all of the pasta salad ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and mix together. Garnish with the fresh basil and/or diced scallions and season with a little salt and pepper if desired. Toss, serve and enjoy!
