Method

Gather all the ingredients needed..

 

Cook the pasta according to the instruction in the pack. Mine took 10 minutes in boiling water.

Drain the water, wash it with cold water and keep it aside. The size of the chopped veggies - fruits  and pasta should be of same size. As I have used Farfalle pasta, I cut them into half (once they cool down). This step is optional, if you are using any small variety pasta, you don't have to cut it.

  

Chop all the veggies. Microwave the frozen corn for 30 seconds. 
Mix lemon juice with apple immediately after slicing it. 
Combine curd-sweet peppers-cucumber-capsicum-sugar-pepper-salt.

 

Mix everything well, and add in the pasta. Combine with the curd mixture,check the seasoning, close the bowl with a cling wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

  

While serving, top the pasta salad with roughly chopped nuts and dates.

Healthy and delicious cold pasta salad is ready.

 

The sweetness of the apples, dates and the crunchiness of peppers-capsicum-cucumber and nuts, its a perfect filling meal by itself.
