My Favorite Salad Mix

     Right now I have water on to make rotini pasta and I use whole wheat. I boiled six eggs last night. If I have chicken breasts I bake and cut that up too, but if not, not a big deal. So I add the eggs when pasta is cooled a little, garbanzo beans, cut string beans, cut up a couple of apples, raisins, almond slivers and for a final touch I mix it with low calorie Italian dressing. You can also sprinkle parm cheese and bread crumbs, not a lot, just a sprinkle. It's a meal !

Now this is a Healthy Pasta !

  I started with rotini, that mixed vegetable kind, but it wasn't whole wheat (hurried shopping) had a baked chicken breast in the fridge, cut and threw that in, a can of garbanzo beans, red grapes, and broccoli florets. Hard boiled eggs were almost finished, so when done, cut and chopped a few in the mix and topped it off with a sprinkle of garlic powder and fat free balsamic vinegar. It is delicious.
