Nutrient Rich Pasta Salad & Regrowing Green Onions

Regrow Green Onions

I saw online somewhere that you can regrow store bought green onions. Seemed like a fun thing to try. After I used my last batch of green onions I put the white parts, which only had a tiny bit of green left on them, down into a measuring cup with about an inch of water. I changed the water daily and waited. Within a couple days they were growing back. Apparently, you can keep doing this over and over. I've gotten so much use out of this one batch, just cutting off what I need as I need it. If you love green onions, you really have to do this!

Nutrient Rich Pasta Salad

I've always made pasta salad a certain way but at a family gathering recently my mom brought some that had beans and canned mushrooms in it and I have to say I loved it. 

box of whole wheat pasta

packet of Italian dressing mix

bottle of Italian salad dressing

black olives

tomatoes

green onions

chives

can of mushrooms

can of beans (I used cannelini beans)

+ whatever else you like

to season: nutritional yeast, paprika, season salt, salt and pepper

Make pasta according to package directions and rinse with cold water when it's done. While it's getting ready. Toss about a half a bottle of Italian dressing in a big bowl with a packet of Italian dressing seasoning mix and put all your veggies and bean in. Mix well. After the pasta is done, add it to the bowl and mix. Season to taste. Enjoy!
