Skylar’s “Church” Shell Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is reminiscent of old-fashioned church picnics, except for the fact that
we used locally handmade pasta from Farm & Fiddle, as well as vegan mayo, making it
suitable for vegans, something Grandma never thought much about.

    Ingredients

    • 2 pounds small pasta shells
    • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas, thawed
    • 1 cup chopped, roasted asparagus
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 cup Champagne vinegar
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh spinach
    • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
    • 2 tablespoons chopped green garlic (optional)
    • 2 garlic cloves
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
    • ¼ cup chopped parsley
    • 1 tablespoon fresh mint
    • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
    • 1 tablespoon cilantro
    • ½ cup Hellman’s Vegan Mayonnaise
    • Salt and pepper to taste
