This Healthy Three Bean Pasta Salad is packed with flavor and made with organic products. It’s a perfect recipe for the upcoming 4th of July holiday since it feeds a crowd or perhaps as a Meatless Meal option on a hot Summer night.
We haven’t talked about eating healthy by using Organic products much, because let’s face it, they just aren’t budget friendly. Over the years, I have longed to feed my family a healthier option but we just didn’t have the extra money. What if I told you this Three Bean Pasta Salad was made with Organic products that are affordable?
Wild Oats Marketplace has been in the food industry over 25 years, making great food for those that care about what food they eat and where it comes from. Wild Oats recently launched a new line of Organic products at Walmart – and you guessed it, they are affordable, for right around $5 you can serve your family this Pasta Salad for a hearty lunch or even on a hot Summer night. We often enjoy Salad during the Summer when it’s just too hot to eat anything.
We used several of the Wild Oats products in this Three Bean Pasta Salad; Penne Rigate, Pinto Beans, Black Beans, Chickpeas Garbanzo Beans, and Spices. We also added Organic Cherry Tomatoes, Celery, a little bit of Green Onions for garnish, and Italian Dressing for added flavor and substance. The Pasta is $1.28 for a 16 ounce box and the Beans are $.92 cents per can, which are great prices for Organic products.
Besides the flavor being delicious, the thing I like the most about the Wild Oats products is that you can actually pronounce and understand the ingredients. For instance, the ingredients that are listed on the Penne Rigate are 100% Organic Durum Wheat Semolina and Water, that’s it.
