Easy pasta salad recipe, penne pasta salad

Easy pasta salad with the veggies available in your pantry. It is so flexible that you can add your favorite vegetables.

I had some leftover penne pasta that I cooked for Aj's lunch box. Usually it will be just a hand full or less than that. But last week it was more. So I thought of making a veggie pasta salad.

I had long time wish to prepare vegetable pasta salad. So what ever I had in my hand, I added in the salad.

Thought of adding zucchini too, but had a confusion if I can add raw or I have to cook it. So skipped it. You can grill and add some!

Always love a sweet touch in my salad, so chose this simple salad dressing with raw organic honey.

I think most of my reader friends by now already know I don't like salads. I really can't eat salad for a meal. If I do, just once in a blue moon. That too I need it sweet, spicy or with something added to tempt me.

I love onion, tomato, lemon, coriander combo, on top of it honey. So this had some carbs also in it, so it went inside without any hesitance😀.
