Pasta salads are a work lunch go-to around here and this Caprese Pasta Salad has become a new favorite. Big on fresh flavors, this pasta is perfect for a packed lunch idea and is delicious served cold. With only five ingredients it comes together quickly – whole wheat pasta, mozzarella balls, fresh tomatoes, basil and a balsamic vinaigrette. This salad has become a staple in our house for lunches, picnics and entertaining.
Today I packed lunch for the office in my 6-Compartment Kinsho Bento Box.
Here are the bento ingredients listed:
- Caprese Pasta Salad – whole wheat rotini, cubed fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, slivered fresh basil, balsamic vinaigrette
- Stonefire Naan Crisps – Garlic & Cheese Flavor
- Fresh Raspberries, Blackberries & Pineapple
- Pesto-Marinated Olives (from local produce store)
I cut the pineapple in thin strips to fit inside the narrow center compartment. Not the prettiest but did the trick and worked out well!
Hope you’re eating something good today. Happy lunch!work
