Pasta salad sounds good for dinner next week! This week will be arugula with cranberries and a low fat creamy horseradish dressing, topped with warm sauteed mushrooms. Very wintery!!

I am inspired to make more pasta salads. My summer staple (esp. for gatherings) is rainbow rotini, chicken breast, olives, tomatoes and italian and/or ranch. (Well, might need to rethink that to make sure it's lowfat). I'm also starting to use more ancient grains like quinoa. Thanks for the tips.

These were great ideas but all but most of the salads gave calories for the entire recipe. You had to do a makeover to get an idea of nutrition in a single serving...

A salad is a wallet-friendly meal, because you can use up the tiniest amounts of meat and fish - yet it miraculously flavours your pasta - or rice salad and gives it a nice texture.
Also delicious vor vegetarians : fried tofu cubes mixed with bulgur , tomatoes and mint leaves, in a raspberry vinegar dressing.
