4. Winter Crunch Pasta Salad
Nothing beats the heat like a tasty easy to prepare pasta salad that not only cools you down but also fills your belly. The name of this dish may just be a little bit confusing, and although it is called the winter crunch pasta salad it is actually served cold and not hot. This dish is perfect for warmer seasons like summer and spring, however, it may be changed to fit the season you are in. All you need to do is switch up some ingredients and this dish can be enjoyed all year-round.
The “crunch” part of this dish’s name is rather suitable and appropriate given that it includes crunchy ingredients such as pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, toasted chopped pecans and brussels sprouts. Flavor is created by the salad dressing which includes maple syrup, salt and ground black pepper. It also serves 6 people, and because it is eaten cold it can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
