My almost summer pasta salad!

Is it just me, or does anyone else get wicked cravings for pasta salad when the weather is hot? We’ve been experiencing a heatwave here in Cyprus, and I’ve had pasta salad on the brain! Traditional pasta salad is riddled with saturated fat from mayonnaise and simple carbohydrates from the refined white pasta. That’s why I am obsessed with this healthier option. This Asparagus & Peas Green Goddess Pasta Salad calls for gluten-free pasta and zero mayo. Instead, it uses a cashew yogurt to achieve the same beloved creaminess. It’s also loaded with nutrient-dense foods like asparagus, peas, chives, parsley, and more.
