This recipe came about from having a bounty of veggies that needed to be used up before they went bad….you know how that goes, you buy the ingredients to make something and it doesn’t get made…then you don’t feel like making it anymore and you come up with something else completely different…I liked the idea of Heidi’s Shakshouka but didn’t have any tomatoes so instead I put all my green veggies to good use…stay safe everyone…

This week Linda and I will be sharing two great salads to help you get healthy for summer! I love a good pasta salad – especially when entertaining – because it’s simple, inexpensive and goes a long way. The great thing about this salad is there is only a little pasta and a lot of rough greens but when you add them to the hot pasta, they soften a little and soak up the vinaigrette.

The other great thing about this salad is that it gets better as it sits… Continue reading
