Full Product Description
This is, hands down, the best pasta salad many of us have ever tasted. Don't try to substitute quinoa or couscous, it doesn't do it justice. This can be a main course, or great as a side with yogurt marinated chicken.

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
