Black Rice Pasta Salad

• Pasta
• 1 bundle black rice noodles
• 2 cups broccoli, chopped
• 1/2 shallot, minced
• 2 carrots
• Dressing
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon spicy mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• salt and pepper
• squeeze lime or lemon
• toasted sesame seeds

1. Cook pasta according to package directions and set aside. Using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline slicer slice up the carrots and bottom part (stem? trunk?) of broccoli. Give the top part of the broccoli a rough chop and place in a bowl with the shallot.
2. Combine the all dressing ingredients in a mason jar, give it a good shake (with the lid on!!), and drizzle over the pasta. Toss everything together. Top with a squeeze of citrus and sesame seeds!
