 This Ceasar Salad is made with healthy ingredients and vegetable enriched pasta that adds a refreshing flavor.  Everyone’s favorite salad can be made in a pinch.  Simply boil water on the stove top for the pasta.  Cook vegetable pasta just until tender then drain it in the sink and run cold water over it to shock the pasta.
