Whole Grain Pasta Salad is a nutritious and versatile dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. Featuring whole grain pasta as its base, this salad is rich in fiber, aiding digestion and promoting fullness. It is typically mixed with fresh vegetables like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and red onions for added crunch and vibrant flavors. Olive oil, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of herbs such as basil or parsley create a light and heart-healthy dressing, which delivers beneficial fats and enhances the dish's natural taste. Protein-packed additions like chickpeas, grilled chicken, or feta cheese can be included, making it well-balanced and satisfying. Whole Grain Pasta Salad is low in saturated fats and refined carbohydrates, making it a wholesome alternative to traditional pasta dishes. However, portion control is key, as any added cheese or dressings can increase calorie and sodium levels.
