Healthy Chilled Cucumber Pasta Salad
This healthy, easy, high-protein, chilled pasta salad is truly the perfect dish to make this summer. It comes together in less than 20 minutes - by the time you prep your ingredients, your pasta will be done and you can throw it all together. I think this is best served chilled from the fridge, so give it at least 30 minutes to an hour to chill before serving. But you can also serve it fresh since you'll cool the pasta quickly and it will be colder than room temperature. I think this would be perfect for meal prep with some grilled chicken or grilled shrimp, too!
