Italian Dressing

vinegar (apple cider, white or red wine)

garlic

honey

salt

black pepper

red pepper flakes

Combine all ingredients in a measuring cup or jar. Whisk well.

Store in jar or bottle with lid for up to 1 week.

Serve this Italian dressing on salad with any Italian meal! This homemade dressing is boldly flavored and delicious—if it's too zesty as written, simply whisk in more olive oil until it's just right for your taste buds. Recipe yields just over 2/3 cup.

Dijon mustard

twists of black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt, more to taste

red pepper flakes,

To prepare the dressing, combine all of the ingredients in a liquid measuring cup. Whisk until blended. 

Taste, and adjust as needed—add another teaspoon of honey if the mixture tastes too acidic. If the mixture is overall too bold for your liking, dilute it with a splash of olive oil, or if it’s just not quite fantastic yet, add more salt and pepper.

Use as desired. Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week. It will separate over time, so just whisk it back together before serving (if the olive oil solidifies a bit in the refrigerator, don’t worry, that’s normal—just let it warm up for about 5 minutes at room temperature or microwave for 10 to 20 seconds).

Vegan Pasta Salad is the perfect potluck side dish, filled with olives, peppers, red onion, roasted red peppers, grape tomatoes, and homemade Italian dressing.

REFRIGERATE any leftovers for 2-3 days. We recommend using all of it sooner than later if you're using raw garlic. You could also use a 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.

Both kids and adults will love it! It's colorful and flavorful. Kids tend to pick out meat and cheese. This recipe is naturally vegan and can also be made gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta. You could serve your favorite plant-based meat and cheese on the side for guests to add in if they'd like or even add in if you prefer. 

INGREDIENTS FOR VEGAN PASTA SALAD

Rotini Pasta - To get a healthy mix of whole grains in we use whole wheat pasta in addition to the traditional tri-color pasta. 
Roasted Red Peppers - We make our homemade roasted red peppers, they're fresh and flavorful! 
Green Bell Pepper - Peppers add a bit of crunch and color. You could also use other bell pepper colors.
Red Onions - These onions not only add a pop of purple, but they also give a strong sharp flavor that pairs well with salads.
Tomatoes - Grape tomatoes or Sprinkles Tomatoes are best. We halve grape tomatoes, sprinkles are smaller, but if choking is a risk for you we recommend slicing them as well.
Black Olives - These add a salty flavor and can be a bit strong in flavor from the brine. We always drain them and give them a rinse as well.
Italian Dressing - You could use your favorite store-bought dressing, but we highly recommend trying our homemade Italian dressing recipe if you have time!
