PASTA SALAD I’m typically all about warming, hearty meals in the winter time but I make an exception for pasta salad. This is a cold dish I love having year round! It has a great balance of carbs, protein and fat; it’s so simple to prep, and tastes absolutely delicious! It’s also easy to customize, if there’s an ingredient you don’t have on hand, or don’t care for, it can be omitted or swapped with a similar ingredient. Hope you enjoy!
