Sausage & Pasta Salad with Wholefood Option

• 175-200g dried pasta, eg penne, fusilli
• ½ vegan stock cube (or use powder below)
• 1 tsp or vegan bouillon powder (green Oxo, Marigold vegan bouillon or Kallo)
• 6 vegan veggie sausages, cooked and sliced (eg Linda McCartney’s, Morrison’s or Fry’s). Alternatively, VBites sausages and hot dogs can be used straight from the packet
• 2 sticks celery, chopped
• ½ bag of bean sprouts
• 2 large handfuls of spinach leaves
• 1 red pepper, chopped into small pieces
• 4 large lettuce leaves, chopped (not iceberg)
• ¼ cucumber, diced small

NB a bag of good quality mixed salad could be used instead if preferred – try one with dark leaves and other goodies. And feel free to tweak the vegetable options – ie if you hate celery add something else, eg grated carrot.
