VEGGIE PASTA SALAD

I watch my calories and macros so I do track everything, but when there’s a big bowl of this veggie pasta salad in my fridge, all bets are off. I have no self-control.

This recipe is so simple and the best part is that you can sub the veggies I use for anything you have in your fridge. These are my typical veggies but there have been plenty of times we are heading to a BBQ or just to a friends for dinner and we are bringing side dishes and I just toss in whatever veggies I have in the fridge. It always turns out great!

I use Primal Kitchen brand products daily. In this recipe, I use their Greek dressing. The ingredients in everything they make is so clean but the flavor is still fantastic. Of course, you can swap this out for your favorite dressing but if you are trying to clean up your diet, this is a perfect swap.

Give this perfect easy veggie pasta salad a try and let me know what you think!

Much love,
