Pasta Salad without any Pasta!
Inspiration: This isn’t a world shattering recipe, though it’s using a new ingredient to me-—quinoa! All you do is substitute a cup of quinoa for pasta, then use all the same stuff: cherry tomatoes, carrots, bell pepper, finely minced celery, zucchini, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, and the dressing (I cheat and use Kraft’s Zesty Italian).
Christie: I can see Tuppence subbing quinoa for pasta for the same reason I did — to help her hubby be a little healthier!
