| | A Pasta Salad for All Seasons | | | | | At this time of the year, the weather in Michigan can NEVER seem to make up its mind. From snow shoes to sandals, Chap stick to sun tan lotion, it’s enough to drive you crazy.
It’s also the exact time of year our appetite and diets go through a similar sort of transformation. With cravings for summer barbecues, fresh salads and icy drinks coming out of their winter hibernation and replacing the warm comfort foods like Roasted Meats, Hearty Soups and Hot Chocolate.
There are a few dishes, a few recipes that are so versatile, they’re delicious and appropriate either time of the season. Our Southwest Chicken Penne Pasta happens to be one of them. As a matter of fact, most pasta salads are adept at disguising themselves as both a winter comfort food and refreshing and filling summer salad, especially if you additionally dress up your “chilled” version with lettuces and such.
The story of our Southwest Chicken Penne Pasta Salad is typical of how many dishes come to be in professional kitchens…you taste something you see somewhere, reverse engineer the recipe in your head and make it your own version…hopefully, even better than the original. And in this case, it truly is! And as mentioned above, if you choose, you can serve it warm or cold.
