Happy Memorial Day! Today we’re sharing our easy-to-make, Gluten-Free Pasta Salad.
Many plant-based eaters are unsure what to share when invited to a barbecue or picnic. This dish works for everyone! For those friends who like a little cheese in their pasta salad, bring along a side of Raw Milk Feta Goat Cheese from Redwood Hill Farm, or my personal favorite vegan cheese – Kate Hill Cassucio.
To make a delicious gluten-free pasta, start with Tinkyada Rice Pasta – found at Jimbo’s Naturally. Note: Follow the directions on the back of the package (use a timer), for the perfect consistency.
