We love this pasta salad as a side dish with a wrap, sandwich or burger. Sometimes we have it alone for lunch. It’s also great served over a bed of greens. You can make it with whole wheat pasta if you prefer. It’s quick to make and tastes even better the next day. The dressing is super simple and cooking the pasta takes the most time. Try different combinations of veggies and different types of pasta to change it up. Variety is the spice of life after all…
