Recipes: Italian Pasta Salad

Pasta salad without the extra carbs? Sign me up!

This salad hosts a medley of veggies that replace the texture of regular pasta, but you’ll still taste the familiar flavors of traditional Italian pasta. That’s right, you still get to enjoy that signature Italian vinaigrette that makes this dish so delicious!

This recipe also requires minimal preparation, so it’s perfect for those days when you’re in a bind and need to eat quickly. You can even pack this up in some tupperware and take it on the go (vinaigrette on the side, of course)!

Let’s get down to business!
