This healthy vegan pasta salad is made with carrots, edamame, onion, and kale which make it a nutritious and balanced meal.
These kinds of meals are just so easy and quick to make but are still delicious and healthy for your body.
Every time I cook pasta, I go for whole wheat since it is way more nutritious: lower in calories and carbs, higher in fiber, protein and vitamins. But obviously, this recipe works with any type of pasta.
Kale and carrots are bringing vitamins and antioxidants, edamame further protein, and the dressing is there to bring you a healthy amount of fats.
