When I think of summer barbecues and picnics, I think pasta salad. But, loaded with simple carbs and fat, pasta salad is a sworn enemy to a healthy diet. For this recipe, I?ve taken my tried and true, go-to pasta salad, added some lean protein,?switched out the regular pasta for whole-wheat, the mayo for plain yogurt and the sugar for Stevia. You now have either?a?filling, balanced meal or a delicious,?traditional side dish and knowing how healthy it is, makes it taste that much better! Your guests will appreciate something healthy on the menu and just watch how fast it disappears:)
