Vegetable And Egg Pasta Salad Recipe

Preparation of Vegetables

Begin by washing the broccoli and carrots thoroughly. Cut the broccoli into small florets and peel the carrots before slicing them into thin rounds. Set aside.

Cooking the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and let it cool.

Boiling the Egg

Place the egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 9-12 minutes. Once done, cool under cold running water, peel, and slice into quarters.

Preparing the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil with your choice of vinegar (recommend balsamic), a pinch of salt, and pepper until emulsified.

Combining the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, prepared vegetables, and boiled egg. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
