Description

Makes 8 cups (2 L) 

Pasta salads are perfect for picnics and potlucks as they stand up well. The Napa cabbage can be replaced with Asian greens, thinly sliced kale, or spinach, and the green onions with sweet or red onions. Vary the colors of peppers, and add in other veggies such as grated daikon, shredded red cabbage, or cucumber strips. Replace edamame with baked or smoked tofu. If you like spicy foods, increase the hot sauce.
