If you’re like me, you struggle to fit all the major food groups into your meals. Not only does it take a while to prepare all of the veggies, carbs, and proteins, but it can get expensive too. This pasta salad is inexpensive, super quick, and covers your grains, proteins, vegetables, and fruits in one dish.
This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember and this summer, I decided to make it for my best friends at our very first summer barbecue without parental guidance. ‘Twas a success. You need to try it.
