Hi Brandel,

I like Pine Nut Mayonnaise from " Raw " (Trotter, Klein), I am copying it

directly from the book:

 

1/2 cup raw pine nuts, soaked for 6 hours in filtered water and drained

1/4 cup filtered water

2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon oil

Sea salt

 

In a high-speed blender, combine the pine nuts, water, olive oil, lemon

juice and onion powder and process until a mayonnaiselike consistency forms.

Season to taste with salt. The mixture will thicken as it sits; thin as

needed with filtered water. Use immediately, or store in a covered container

in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

--------

I think any pasta salad could be good with chopped fresh herbs such as

thyme, basil. I would also recommend to add a little bit of chili and sesame

oil. I'd stay away from walnuts. Salted peanuts perhaps?

I swear I do not have any TNT (for FBI guys who are scanning emails), this

is just a friendly veggie patriot act.

Brandel, one idea for vegan pasta salad with protein is to make whole

grain noodles with some cut up veggies and top it with a spicy peanut

sauce.

 

Here is a recipe as an example, but you can try different veggies:

 

Whole Wheat Pasta with Cucumber and Spicy Peanut Sauce

 

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

3 tablespoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon sugar

1 cup hot water

20 ounces whole wheat pasta

2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and cut diagonally into 1/8-inch slices

1 cup thinly sliced scallions

1 cup red peppers, thinly sliced and 1 inch in length

salt and pepper to taste

In a blender combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic,

red pepper flakes, sugar and hot water until smooth. In a pot of boiling

salted water, boil the pasta until just tender; transfer to colander and

rinse briefly under cold water. Drain the pasta noodles well. In a large

bowl, toss noodles with peanut sauce, cucumbers, scallions and red

peppers. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately at room

temperature. Makes 8 servings.

 

 

Another thought is to add frozen mixed vegetables (which has lima beans)

to any cooked pasta. I would use a vegan cheez sauce on that mixture,

eg.:

 

Cheesy Sauce (good for mac and cheese)

Modified from " How it All Vegan " cookbook

 

1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes

3 tablespoons whole wheat flour

4 teaspoons cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup water

2 teaspoon mustard (regular)

 

Mix together all dry ingredients until blended. Add water and stir.

In a saucepan over medium heat, heat until sauce has started to

thicken. Add the mustard and stir until desired thickness has been

reached. I find that 2-3 servings of whole wheat spirals go well

with this, but you can put it over anything (potatoes, white pasta,

veggies, etc.) The nutrition facts based upon 2 servings per

serving are about: 115 calories, .354 grams of fat, 600 mg sodium

(sort of high), 2 grams fiber, 20.5 grams carbohydrates, and 12 grams

protein. So this dish is virtually fat free.
