Mediterranean Pasta Salad with Fresh Herbs

This Mediterranean Pasta Salad with Fresh Herbs is perfect for your picnic, potluck or party!

Heading to a potluck picnic? Take that as an invitation to bring a healthy dish. When you prepare a lightened up recipe, you’re making sure you’ll have at least one thing there to eat at your picnic that won’t throw you off track. That way if you end up surrounded by some not-so-healthy options, you’ve still got a healthy dish to rely on and you won’t go home hungry. Of course, you can still taste and enjoy some of the higher calorie fare, but it won’t be your main meal.
