••••HALLOWEEN PASTA SALAD🎃!!
1 box whole wheat penne pasta (or other pasta)
Natural purple food coloring (or red + blue)
*If you don't want to die the pasta, use black bean pasta
1 cucumber, sliced
1/2 head of broccoli, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded cheese (I have used parmesan or cheddar)
Your favorite Italian salad dressing, to taste
Boil the pasta as directed on the box until al dente.
Drain and run cold water over the noodles.
Meanwhile, use a knife to cut out jack-o-lantern faces in the cucumber slices.
You don't have to cut all the slices if you're in a time crunch, just a few to go on top.
Add about 1/4 cup water to a large Ziploc bag and squeeze in about 10 drops of purple food coloring.
Add pasta to the bag and toss to coat.
Let sit a couple minutes, drain, and rinse with cold water.
Transfer pasta to a large bowl and add the rest of the ingredients.
Toss to coat and refrigerate a couple hours or overnight.
Add a bit more dressing before serving.
