Try pasta for a cool, energy packed salad.
Pasta salads can be very simple to prepare.
And, when the weather is hot, a cool salad can make meals more appealing. The versatility of pasta is what makes it a nice salad alternative. Flavor cooked pasta with garlic, basil and low-fat cheese. Mix pasta with diced tomatoes, basil, black olives and low-cal Italian dressing. Top pasta with grilled chicken, asparagus and squash.
