Packed with all kinds of nutrients, this pasta salad could be served as a meal on its own. You can be creative with the shape of the pasta you choose to use, or can stick with your usual. The broccoli and dried cranberries add a lot of color to this dish, and if you opt to use cashews, you’ll end up with some bonus protein too!
Serves 10.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of your favorite pasta, boiled according to box’s instruction (I tend to use Gemelli or corkscrews). Make sure it is cooled.
