How to Make Veggie and Chicken Pasta Salad
The key to including pasta in your meal plan without going overboard on carbohydrate is to keep the portion size small and serve it with lots of veggies and some protein. This is a quick dinner the whole family can enjoy any time of year. Try it with a bean-based pasta like lentil or chickpea pasta for added protein and fiber.
