My go-to dinners always seem to be pasta. There are just so many different ways to make it and it is truly just one of my favorite foods. If you are like me and enjoy an easy and quick pasta dinner, check out this southwestern pasta salad or this creamy garlic spaghetti.

This pasta salad is no exception. It is ridiculously easy to make and completely ready to eat in 15 minutes! It is also super versatile and can be changed up to your liking. I always add red onion, bell pepper, tomato and cucumber, but avocados, chopped spinach or kale and jalapeno peppers are always great additions. You could also add in your choice of a plant-based protein like some chickpeas or lentils.
