Name: Annabel's Pasta Salad
Yield: Makes 4 portions
Ingredients: 5 oz (150 g) pasta bows (farfalle); 2 oz (60 g) green beans; 1/2 cup (60 g) sliced carrots; 1/2 cup (100 g) frozen corn; 4 cherry tomatoes, quartered; 2 Tbsp (30 g) grated onion; 4 Tbsp vegetable oil; 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar; 2 Tbsp water; 1/2 tsp chopped fresh ginger; 1 Tbsp chopped celery; 1 Tbsp soy sauce; 1 1/2 tsp tomato paste; 1 tsp superfine sugar; salt and pepper, to taste; pepper

This salad's delicious dressing is popular with my children as a dip for vegetables (I make a bottle of it to keep in the refrigerator). The salad is great for lunch boxes, or as a side dish served warm or cold. Use three-color pasta, if possible.
