Green Goddess Pasta Salad

I made this Green Goddess Pasta Salad right after we got back from vacation, almost a month ago. I don’t know why I just wrote that, except that even though I really enjoyed it. I wasn’t compelled to write the post.

For one, recently when I get ‘plugged in’, as Wesley would say, I end up catching up on emails, comments and social media, then chat with my blogging buddies. Not that all that isn’t necessary, but then when I get all that done, I don’t want to sit any more to write a post.

So the next time I sit down to write a post, guess what? I get on email, social media and chat with my blogging buddies first.

It’s a vicious cycle…

So before our Summer veggies are gone, I’d better get this recipe to you.

I’ve mentioned it before, I’m a carb girl. I love pastas, rice, breads. But, I’m trying to eat more vegetables and I don’t want a bowl of vegetables or salad every meal. I thought if I combined a salad with some pasta that at least it would be better than a complete bowl full of pasta!

Enter: Green Goddess Pasta Salad!

It’s heart healthy and satisfying!
