NOTE:

----------

1. Any variety of pasta can be used. Homemade one is preferably better.

2. Cream cheese spread can be replaced with garlic sauce, mayonnaise, or any creamy sauce.

3. Cucumber seeds can be replaced with sunflower seeds, flax seeds etc.

4. This can be made ahead and refrigerated too. But if you are using onion, use it at the time of serving only.

5. Any veggies can be used in any proportions.

6. Add salt to the salad while assembling only if necessary, since the cream cheese spread already contains salt, and we have also cooked the pasta with little salt.
