How to make pasta salad?

For the salad: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in lightly salted water with sea salt. While the pasta is cooking, chop the vegetables into a large bowl. Once the pasta is tender, pour it into a colander, drain, and cool it under running cold water. Then add the cooked and cooled pasta to the bowl with the chopped vegetables and prepare the dressing.

For the sauce: to make the sauce, use a food processor or a high-powered blender to blend the Indian nuts, water, lemon juice, salt, garlic and mustard powder, which have been soaked overnight, into a smooth, silky mixture. When the sauce is ready, stir it into the vegetables and pasta. Serve with a few green herb leaves and enjoy!
