As a plant eater you might be surprised to know I don’t care for salads that much. If I have them I tend to want lots of rich, creamy and very healthy, dressing on it. This is why I generally get my dark live greens by juicing. But this salad is different. It’s an arugula, spinach, sun dried tomatoes and capers healthy pasta salad and I can eat it by the bowl full. The flavors are delicious and it’s quick to make and very filling. It’s the only salad I make and eat regularly as a full meal. Give it a try and see what you think!

Yum! That looks really good. I love pasta salads in general, and I find that capers add a great burst of flavor to dishes. This one is definitely going on my list of fun new dishes to try.
This was my first “caper” dish and I feel in love with them!
