Vegan Chipotle Pasta Salad
A local health food store sells this dish in their deli. Of course they were not going to hand over the recipe, but I figured it out from the ingredient list. Make sure you use Original Vegenaise, it tastes just like the real thing. Adjust peppers to how hot you like it. As the recipe stands I would say it has a medium spiceyness.
