To me, pasta salad is a summer meal, but not if it’s warmed up!
Ingredients
Cranberry Balsamic Vinaigrette
Salad
  • 2 cups dry pasta – I used rice pasta!
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup raw slivered almonds + more for garnish
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley + more for garnish
  • ¼ cup green onions
Instructions
  1. Cook pasta as per package instructions. Once cooked and strained, set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, combine all vinaigrette ingredients in small saucepan. Heat on medium-low heat until it boils, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Make sure to stir every 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  3. Drop cooked pasta into a large serving bowl, top with remaining salad ingredients and pour vinaigrette over top.
  4. Stir to coat and serve immediately.
