Spring Pasta Salads

This weeks taste is a spring pasta salad! This healthy pasta isn’t whole wheat, and it’s not chickpea either. It’s CAULIFLOWER pasta! I simply mixed together my CaliFlourFoods pasta with spinach, mushrooms, carrot spirals, broccoli, heirloom tomatoes, fat free feta, and a TASTY homemade vinaigrette to top it off! This recipe is vegetarian-friendly and filled with protein from the cauliflower & yellow lentil pasta! Enjoy!
