Simple Pasta Salad

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

I love easy side dishes. Especially things that are pretty in addition to being delicious. Like this pasta dish.

You can brighten it up even more with canned tomatoes, but some of my children don’t like tomatoes very much, and I think this dish is actually better without the tomatoes.

Cook up some multicolored spiral pasta, drain and rinse with cold water. Add in one can of corn, drained, and one can of garbanzo beans, drained. Then, my favorite part. You can use Italian dressing, but this, in my humble opinion, is much, much better.

Bragg’s All Natural Ginger & Sesame Salad Dressing. Pour this on to coat pasta to your liking and stir. Season with sea salt to your liking. And eat. All of my boys, even my I-don’t-like-vegetables boy, love this dressing. Bragg’s All Natural Ginger & Sesame Salad Dressing has extra virgin olive oil, fresh ginger, raw honey, fresh garlic, , liquid aminos, sesame seeds, and more.
