We accomplished the im-pasta-ble with this delicious pasta salad! If you typically think of pasta as a gooey, cheesy, heavy entrée that involves standing over a sweltering stove simmering tomatoes for hours, we’re about to blow your mind. Not only is this dish super quick and easy to make, it’s light and fresh. The trick is swapping out heavier sauces and condiments for Primal Kitchen Poppyseed Dressing & Marinade. 

Made with real ingredients including avocado oil and onion puree, this creamy vinaigrette adds a savory flavor to gluten-free fusilli or your favorite noodles (we recommend something curly like cavatappi to really grab onto the sauce). Teamed with fresh grape halves, nuts, and green onions, it’s an easy lunch or side dish that isn’t overly filling. In addition to a noodle swap, you can also add more veggies like broccoli and carrots or up the protein by adding tuna or leftover rotisserie chicken.
