Rainbow Pasta Salad
Mix in some veggie goodness and peep the pretty colors of this vibrant pasta salad featuring every kid’s favorite: noodles!
Ingredients
Makes 2 servings
4 slices whole wheat bread
2 Tablespoons prepared pesto
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/3-inch slices
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
4 Bibb lettuce leaves
1 large yellow bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
Yellow bell peppers, red cherry tomatoes, and bright green pesto add pops of fun and a touch of sweetness to fresh mozzarella on whole grain toast. Bibb lettuce’s soft, buttery texture complements the crunchy fresh veggies, but any lettuce will work.
Directions
1. Toast bread for 2 minutes or until golden brown (even once cooled, it’ll stay crunchy through lunchtime).
2. Spread pesto onto each slice of toast. Top two slices each with half of the mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, and bell pepper. Put the other two pieces of toast on top.
3. Cut each sandwich into quarters, or use a cookie cutter to cut the sandwich into your child’s favorite shape. Wrap in wax paper or a reusable sandwich bag.
