A Quick & Easy Vegetarian Dinner Recipe

Adding pasta to any salad pretty much makes it a meal. It’s a cheap and easy way to make it go much further! It’s also really filling and delicious. Even my kids gobble it up, which is NOT an easy task any time the word “salad” is used. Essentially, you could do this with just about any salad and you’ve got a simple vegetarian and healthy meal everyone will love.

This yummy pasta salad is also an excellent idea for BBQ’s, potlucks, parties, or family gatherings. It feeds quite a crowd! Plus, the pasta can be made and chilled the day before so it only takes a few minutes to throw together.

Great for Meatless Mondays! Even your picky eaters will love it.
