Why This Dish Is So Special

Fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. It’s easy to make and perfect for warm days. Plus, it’s completely plant-based, making it a healthy and compassionate choice.

Helpful Cooking Tips

- Use pasta shapes that hold dressing well, like rotini or penne.
- Rinse cooked pasta under cold water to stop cooking and keep it from sticking.
- Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley for extra brightness.

Step 1

Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, add the rotini and cook it until it’s tender but still has a little bite—about 8 minutes should do. Drain the pasta and toss it into a large bowl.

Step 2

Add the broccoli, vegan mayo, olives, pickles, tomatoes, a splash of pickle juice, fresh and dried dill, and a bit of mustard. Mix everything together so the flavors come together nicely.

Step 3

Pop the salad in the fridge for at least three hours to let it chill and the flavors meld. Give it a good stir before you serve, and enjoy!

Serving Combinations

Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best taste. It pairs nicely with crunchy bread or a simple green side salad. This is a great dish to bring to picnics or potlucks.

Food Storage Tips

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays fresh for up to three days. Toss gently before serving again to redistribute the dressing.
