My plan today was to buy sushi for lunch. This morning, my cheapness overcame my laziness and I made one of the laziest, but still satisfying, meals I had in my arsenal.<\/p>\n

Working Time: 10 minutes
\nCooking Time: roughly 10 minutes<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/b><\/p>\n

Pasta, cooked as per directions on package (also a great recipe for leftover pasta)
\nDiced cucumber
\nDiced red onion
\nBlack olives
\nChopped sundried tomatoes
\nBeans
\n1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
\n1 tbsp oil of your choice
\nsalt
\nOptional: any veggies or leftover meat laying around the house. Originally, I was going to put in some baby spinach, but I forgot.<\/p>\n

Let’s do it!<\/b>
\nCook the pasta as per specifications and prepare the beans. For this recipe I used a rainbow farfalle. Generally I stick to the non-long type pastas, as it’s easier to get spoonfuls of pasta and veggies together. I used frozen soy beans so I tossed them into the pasta during the last minute. You can use canned beans, or nuts even.<\/p>\n

Chop up everything and throw into a container with a lid. Add the pasta and shake shake shake. Sprinkle with salt.<\/p>\n

Pour the oil (I used veggie oil because I get sick of olive oil sometimes) and vinegar into a jar and screw the lid on very tight.<\/p>\n

Lunch it up!<\/b>
\nThis one’s easy. Shake up the dressing vigorously, then pour some (or all, if you like a ton of dressing) into your container. Shake shake shake some more, and you have a good, balanced lunch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
