Today I want to share with you all my light & fit pasta salad. Its full of delicious crisp veggies along with whole wheat Penne, Parmesan cheese and an organic balsamic vinaigrette. This is the perfect lunch time salad or can be paired with some baked salmon for dinner to make a heartier meal. To make this amazing salad you will need the following:
2 green bell peppers or any tricolored pepper of your choice, sliced
1 cucumber diced
2 14oz cans of garbananzo beans
1 14oz can of black olives, sliced
1 cup of raw broccolli
1/4 red onion sliced
3/4 box of whole wheat Penne
2 cups of fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups of Simply Natural organic Italian vinaigrette (or your favorite Italian salad dressing).
*Makes about 10 servings
Wash and cut all the veggies and place in a relatively large bowl. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box and allow it to cool before incorporating with the veggies. Once the pasta has been incorporated, add the cheese and balsamic vinaigrette and mix well to make sure all the cheese and vinaigrette has been distributed evenly to all the veggies and pasta. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving. Happy eating!
