Steps:
- Heat a small saucepan to medium, and add the oils, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir and don't let the oil get too hot. Once the garlic is cooked, stir in the vinegar, tamari, water and maple syrup. Turn the heat down to medium-low, and stir occasionally while you prepare the vegetables.
- The next part of this pasta salad is to sprinkle some sea salt on the broccoli and mushrooms in a bowl with a tight-fitting lid.

Steps:
- 1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Add the sugar snap peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and rinse with cold water. Place cooled pasta/snap pea mixture in a large bowl, stir in the celery, red pepper, and scallions.
- 2. To make the dressing, I put all ingredients into a small jar and shake to combine. Pour dressing over pasta/veggie mix, stir and refrigerate for a half hour or so. Garnish with some or all of suggested condiments.
- 3. I sometimes serve this as a side with grilled meat, but also love to stuff lettuce leaves with this salad and enjoy it as a roll-up appetizer. Plus, any vegetables you like should work in this recipe. Try green beans, broccoli, or carrots. You can also add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the dressing and make it a very kid friendly.
