Cook veggies for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Before turning the heat off, add sliced Red Onion to the pan and cook for a minute.
- Turn heat off and transfer Veggies into a large mixing bowl.
- Once the pasta is al dente, drain and add to the veggie filled mixing bowl.
- Add halved Cherry Tomatoes to pasta, along with your cooked Sweet Potato. Mix to combine.
- To prepare dressing, combine all ingredients in a jar, cover with a lid and shake well. Pour dressing onto pasta salad and stir well. Add Vegan Mayonnaise to the pasta salad and stir to incorporate.
