HEPP'S Quinoa Pasta and Vegetable Salad
September 22, 2014
This is a great salad whether you need to eat gluten free or not, quinoa pasta is so close to regular pasta you will never know the difference. The other great thing about this salad is the many different ways you can change it up and make a whole new experience. This recipe is a good base to start with but you can add as many vegetables or meats (or not) as you want. It is also great if you have a refrigerator full of leftovers and you unsure what to do with all of it.
