Usually, we make the pasta, and then add some so called “salad” ingredients to it.
This time, we make the salad before, and then we add the pasta after.
What’s the point? When you add pasta to salad instead of the other way around, you eat less pasta! A little goes a long way!
I used leftover salad consisting of avocado, tomatoes, and cucumbers, then added some white beans and balsamic vinaigrette to it. Then, I mixed some leftover plain orecchiette (o-rek-yet-aye) pasta to the salad.
Try making this with your leftover salad! As long as you mix in dressing and sauce to your salad and pasta as you need it, you’ll have plain salad and pasta for the next day’s new recipe!
Buon Appetito! J
