This pasta salad is satisfying with grilled lamb chops, chicken, or shrimp. For a picnic, try serving it in halved bell peppers. You can use whole wheat couscous for added fiber. To quickly turn this into a vegetarian main dish, add a can of drained chickpeas and some crumbled feta cheese.
I used a different dressing than listed as I had forgotten to get the ingredients for that dressing. Nonetheless, the recipe with another dressing was wonderful. I will certainly make it again. It is very healthy and filling.
