When it's hot and you want something hearty, yet fresh, and don't want to warm your house with excess heat - this is the recipe!!

 

This vegan and gluten-free pasta salad is rich in probiotics with it's creamy yogurt sauce and rich in enzymes with the beautiful variety of raw vegetables included.

 

We love this pasta salad recipe because you can add and omit ingredients, customize it, based on what you have and your taste buds.

 

This recipe is extra special because it utilizes frozen vegetables to cool down your rice noodles. The hot cooked noodles then defrost your frozen vegetables at the same time!

 

This is a staple in our house and once you try it, we believe it will a staple in your home all summer long.
