Homemade Vegan Pasta Salad Recipe

This vegan pasta salad (Exploring Vegan) combines with vegan mayo and vegan honey, along with Dijon mustard, and a variety of veggies (carrots, onion, bell pepper and celery). Garnish with scallions. Use plastic-free pasta!

Read up on food safety for people and pets (onion, garlic and spices are unsafe near animal friends). Just bin allium scraps (onion, garlic, leeks, shallots, chives) as like tomato/citrus/rhubarb scraps, acids could harm compost creatures. 

For tinned ingredients, pop lids inside cans (or pop ring-pulls back over holes) to avoid wildlife getting trapped). 

To make your own salad is pretty empowering. You no longer have to rely on restaurant offerings of a slice of tomato and cucumber with limp lettuce. But also are free from the (very expensive) bagged salads in supermarkets, and dressings often made with dairy ingredients.
