I am such a fan of pasta salad in the summer – it’s a great meal prep or no heat lunch that you can put together with ingredients you have on hand quickly.

Using savory and sweet together is always a winner; the flavors in this pasta salad blend so well together.

This healthy 30 minute strawberry jalapeño chicken is the best easy and healthy summer meal. The chicken has a cilantro lime marinade and is topped with an easy strawberry jalapeño salsa.
