Experimenting with Pasta Salad Recipes

Tweet

By that I mean I have been making up my own. Its kind of fun! For the past month or so I have been making black bean pasta salads in bulk to pack as a lunch at work - freezing some. This last batch had penne noodles, black beans, corn, onion, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, green peppers and cheese. In an italian dressing. As you can see I made a bit much so I gifted some to my sister, mom and dad. Do you do this at all? Also, Im looking for healthier ideas for meals I can make - such as other pasta salads loaded with veggies. (Yes,I realize pasta has plenty o carbs). Any ideas? Any random dishes youve made lately?
