HEALTHY PASTA ANYONE?!
This vegan pasta salad is the perfect, quick and easy lunch or dinner. Whether you are packing a lunch or work or making a dish to take to a pot-luck, this recipe is really a winner. To say I am a pasta lover would be an understatement. There are so many healthy pasta alternatives out there now which allows pasta to be a part of a healthy lifestyle. I used Banza penne chickpea pasta for this recipe but feel free to use any kind of pasta you like. I personally like the Banza pasta because it has 25 grams of protein a serving and 15 grams of fiber.
