Healthy, because
This fresh, summer salad is a perfect thing for barbecues, picnics, or dinner parties. It is light, but it contains plenty of nutrients and fiber from the pasta and vegetables.
Even smarter
You can add in some grilled chicken or bacon for more protein, or you can serve it on the side of a main dish like barbecued chicken.
