Preparation

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package, adding a generous tablespoon or so of kosher salt to the water as it cooks. Just before the noodles are done cooking, add the broccoli to the pot. Let the broccoli boil for about 30 seconds and then drain everything into a large colander. Rinse well with cold water.

Stir together dressing ingredients. Add cooked pasta and broccoli to the bowl and stir to coat. Add cucumber, pepper and onion and stir again. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir before serving.
