Fusilli Pasta salad with carrot, green peas and cauliflower recipe - Pasta salad is the most easiest and simple to cook dish. Being a dry dish, it is easily packable in lunch box or it can be carried while travelling. This salad is to be served as a breakfast dish or evening tea time snack, with a cup of coffee, tea or  juice. Pasta itself is not so flavorful. So, to enhance the flavor in the dish, I have made seasoning with green chillies, split bengal gram, curry leaves and onions.
