    If you want to make a perfect summer salad, you have to go with this one. This Bruschetta Pasta Salad is HEALTHY, EASY TO MAKE, and SO YUMMY! I make it twice a week during summer months and my whole family loves it.

    I’m a huge fan of bruschetta. It’s flavorful and fresh and it’s one of those recipes where I always seem to have the ingredients on hand. The best part is that it takes less than 20 minutes to make.

    This salad could also be customized to your liking. You can add some fresh mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, or diced onions. Let's take a moment to discuss the ingredients.

    TOMATOES

    Because is it one of the main ingredients, you'll want to use great quality tomatoes. Heirlooms are the best, but if you cannot get them, try to find some tomatoes from the farmer's market. They are in season now, so I am sure you won't have any trouble finding fresh and tasty tomatoes.

    PASTA

    I recommend using Chickapea Pasta in this recipe. It is a healthy alternative to regular pasta and my family loves it for many reasons:

    • This pasta is made with only organic chickpeas & lentils. No hidden ingredients, nothing artificial.
    • It is organic, non-GMO, gluten free, and vegan.
    • It contains 27 grams of protein and 13 grams of fiber per 3.5-ounce serving.
    • It tastes great!
