For TresOmega’s 2nd Annual “Organics for Life” Blogger Recipe Challenge, I pushed myself to create something trendy and unusual. However, green pasta just doesn’t work for me, and as much as I liked the flavor of my avocado pesto, I couldn’t get over the color. So, it was back to the kitchen to create the healthiest, tastiest, most creative recipe I could highlighting TreOmega’s Gluten Free pasta.
One of my favorite ways to cook is to take traditional recipes and add a twist, either by
adding an unusual ingredient or changing the preparation, so that’s just what I did. I love pasta. I love kale and fresh veggies. I love using packaged, salad mixes from the supermarket produce department. So, why not combine all three?
The end result…a Kale & Quinoa Spaghetti Salad that is colorful, filling, tasty, healthy, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a picnic! While this is a vegetarian recipe, it would be just as fabulous with some grilled salmon or chicken on top.
