Veggie and Pasta Salad

Cook pasta normally.  I had spaghetti noodles, but any noodles would work. Set aside.

Cut romaine lettuce
Drain mandarin oranges
Toast almonds 400 for 10-15min, be careful you don't want them to burn.  You can also toast them on the stove top on high with oil/butter, just keep an eye on them you don't want them to burn.

Put 2-3 cups of lettuce in a salad bowl, top with mandarin oranges, and almonds.
then add dressing :
2-3T of olive oil
1-2t of apple cider vinegar
1 t basil and/or poppyseeds
salt and pepper
dash of garlic powder

Mix the salad altogether then put a mound of noodles on each individual plate and top with the salad mixture.

Can add avocados
