Healthy Antipasto Pasta Salad Recipe : Fresh veggies take center stage in this nutritious Antipasto Salad made with your garden tomatoes and cucumbers. The easy red wine vinaigrette will become a favorite.
Do you tend a garden? Although I’d like to think I can garden, the reality is that I lack an outdoor green thumb.
Usually, my petunias perish from a shortage of water. I water really well from the end of May to the beginning of June. After that, I simply forget.
Fortunately, my parents live nearby and maintain a fantastic garden with a wide variety of squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and corn. This is the perfect time of year for me to make this colorful, nutrient-dense antipasto salad.
