Layered Summer Pasta Salad
June 3, 2012
On weekends, I try to make life easier by coming up with a list of lunch and dinner ideas, that way I can go ahead and do my grocery shopping and any preparations ahead of time. Planning ahead is the key to eating healthier! This weekend I’m craving my layered summer pasta salad. Simple, colorful, fresh. I was feeling a little adventurous today and decided to add some pea shoots!
