Directions
-
Bring salted water to a boil on the stovetop. Add fusilli and cook to al dente, according to package or about 5-8 minutes. Drain pasta and transfer to a bowl. Place in refrigerator or freezer (if you are short on time) to chill.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together oil ingredients and let sit.
-
While dressing is combining and pasta cools, chop and cut vegetables, cheese and lox.
-
Combine cooled pasta and vegetables and drizzle with half of the dressing. Add cream cheese and lox and remainder of dressing, and toss gently to just combine - cheese may lose its cubed shape. Season with salt, pepper and "everything bagel" seasoning according to your taste.
