I made this last night. A delicious and simple pasta salad from mostly home grown ingredients, as a test of eating well during a survival situation. One box of pasta and the ingredients below served six.
Pandemic Pasta Salad Recipe
- 12oz box of tri-color rotini
- 8 cherry tomatoes quartered (grown)
- 1 cucumber (grown)
- 8 white mushrooms
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 small can olives
- 1 can artichoke hearts
- dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, dijon mustard, honey
- salt and pepper
In total, this cost about $12.
Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers are quite easy to grow. The goal is to be self sufficient in more of those ingredients, like button mushrooms, bell pepper and artichoke.
