I am featuring this pasta salad lunch meal prep. This is another delicious and easy lunch to prep ahead that will take you under 45 minutes to make and assemble for the week. This is similar to a pasta salad I made a while back but just changed up a few ingredients to spice it up some. Meal prep shouldn’t feel daunting or boring and the foods you eat should be healthy and leave you wanting more healthy food just like it. Enjoy!
