Healthy Pasta Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette… Your Way!

Jamie from The Flour Children helped kids create a Healthy Pasta Salad at our February Kids in the Kitchen event and it was a huge success! She used whole wheat bow-tie pasta with a super tasty balsamic vinaigrette and let the kids pick and choose what they wanted… a variety of nuts, cheeses, and fresh veggies from carrots and broccoli to peas and dinosaur kale! Children came back for seconds to try different combinations and we think you will too!
