Pasta Salad

Posted by

You’ll see an ongoing theme with the last two days…it’s all about how to use up leftovers and not wasting food. A couple of nights ago we had a salad with baked chicken. Our salad couldn’t just have lettuce… no no no, that won’t do! It had cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, mushrooms, feta, lettuce…but we had leftover chopped veggies…but I didn’t want ANOTHER lettuce salad…so I decided to make a pasta salad. This is a super easy dish. You just need a cutting board, a knife, and one big bowl, so this is easy cleanup.

I will say…I don’t have a ton of measurements for stuff because I just used what was leftover. Also, I mean…it’s literally one step when you have all the ingredients prepped.

Enjoy!
