Spring Vegetable Whole Wheat Pasta Salad with Asparagus, Garden Peas and Turkey Bacon.

This side item will be featured in Good Measure Meal’s new Spring, Summer menu. I tested the Spring Vegetable Whole Wheat Pasta Salad today.

As I was chopping and mixing I started to daydream about asparagus. It really is a tremendous vegetable!

Asparagus is packed full of a ton of healthy stuff. It is an excellent source of vitamin K, the B vitamin folate, vitamin C, vitamin A. Asparagus is a very good source of numerous B vitamins – including B1, B2, B3 and B6 – as well as dietary fiber, manganese, copper, phosphorus, potassium and protein. WOW this little guy does A LOT!

This salad will be served with: Herbed Balsamic Grilled Chicken Breast topped with Creamy Blue Cheese Sauce and Fresh Arugula on a Whole Wheat Bun Half.

Cheers to our friend asparagus.
