Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pasta
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon onion chopped
  • 1.5 tablespoon carrot chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capsicum

For 1000 island dressing:

  • 1/2 cup yogurt / mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar optional
  • 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon green chilli paste optional
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Boil water and add pasta along with required salt and oil.Drain water and keep the pasta aside.
  • Powder mustard seeds to a semi fine powder – I used my hand mortar and pestle.
  • Chop the veggies into lengthwise strips.
  • Mix them with little salt and keep aside.In a mixing bowl – add yogurt,mustard powder.
  • Then add freshly ground pepper powder and chilli paste.
  • Add the pasta, veggies, salt to taste and give a quick stir.
  • Serve 1000 island dressing immediately.

Notes

  • The original recipe uses mayonnaise, I wanted to make it low fat so used thick yogurt. Also I did not want to get a pack of mayonnaise just for this sake as I am not a fan of it.
  • There are a lot of variations – You can either use pasta, or even any type of legumes like chickpeas, red kidney bean etc along with veggies.
  • You can even make the dressing the previous day and refrigerate it and while serving just toss the other ingredients.
  • Always serve immediately once the salad is prepared to maintain the crunchiness of the veggies.
  • If you prefer more on the sweeter side then add more tomato sauce.
  • The original recipe called for kosher salt, I skipped it and used normal salt.
