Perfect for picnics or for a filling and fast weeknight meal, this pasta salad can be assembled with whatever protein floats your boat as a main dish or as a side dish without. But it’s pretty tasty with grilled shrimp, if that’s your thing. The raw, live probiotics come into play by tossing the salad with our Green Goddess Dressing, rich with fermented goodness and flavor from our Dill & Garlic Sauerkraut.
