If you're looking for an easy pasta salad recipe that's vegan-friendly, then you're in luck! This recipe is easy to follow and will leave you with a delicious and hearty pasta salad that you can enjoy either as a meal on its own or as a side dish.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces elbow macaroni
- 1 cup celery finely chopped
- ½ cup soft silken tofu drained
- ⅓ cup soy milk
- ¼ onion minced
- ¼ cup sweet relish
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- Cayenne pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook pasta as package directs.
- Rinse with cold water and drain.
- Place in large serving bowl.
- In blender, blend tofu and soy milk until well combined.
Silken tofu works best for sauces as it is easily broken down and forms a ‘silky’ smooth texture. If you use a firm block of tofu, it may not all be blended down smooth.
- Blend in onion, relish, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and cayenne.
- Add sauce to pasta and coat all evenly.
- Mix in celery.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Serve cold.
