Dressing:
Salad:
Combine oil, vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper to make a dressing.
Cook pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, slice asparagus lengthwise in quarters, then across in 1-1/2" pieces. Cut carrots in similar-size julienned pieces. Steam or blanch vegetables for a few minutes.
Drain pasta well. Stir in oil to prevent pasta from sticking together. Combine with vegetables, dressing, capers and parsley. Adjust flavor with more vinegar or salt, and serve warm or at room temperature.
