With the wedding season here,I have got sick of looking at that rich food and desserts. Italian pasta salad from Cherie’s blog became my choice for this Blog Hop. Frankly, I wanted to make the Creamy Choco Biscuit Trifle. I absolutely loved it. It surely will be done, has been bookmarked!! Thanks, Radhika, the Blog Hop gives us wonderful blogs to study.
I love the Italian dressing pasta, but I had to change it because of the oil in it!!..wanted something preferably oil-free or just bare minimum oil, so have changed the dressing…
 
1cup………………..Boiled pasta
3-4…………………. flowerets cauliflower
3-4…………………. beans cut into two
1………………………small carrot cut into strips
orange pulp 
bean sprouts
 
Dressing

Blanch the cauliflower, beans and carrots.
Remove pulp from oranges discarding the seeds and the extras.

You could use veggies of your choice and in any proportion…absolutely personal choice.
