Green Tea Cold Pasta Salad: Infused with the flavors of green tea, ginger with a hint of orange this salad will become your new favorite recipe on a hot summer day.
This Green Tea Cold Pasta Salad is my ‘all in one’ recipe and I’ve been eating copious amounts of this for lunch these days.
I call it ‘all-in-one’ cause it’s the perfect combination of easy, healthy and super yummm.
I’ve been loving this ‘green tea-ginger-orange’ combination and have literally made a huge batch of it.
So, all I’m doing these days, is just make some pasta (if it’s not already in the fridge) and then mix everything together, add some greens, some crunch and here you go – Green Tea Cold Pasta Salad.
This is my absolute favorite on a hot summer day because of the minimal cooking involved.
Now, there are definitely few things to remember when making this as you don’t want to overpower the salad with green-tea or ginger but what we want is a light fragrant infusion of both.
Although I could eat the salad just with ginger-green tea flavor I’ve noticed mixing a little bit of orange flavor gives it this extra zing.Since all the other flavors are very earthy, the citrus sparks it up and you literally feel the burst of summer in every bite.
It also makes for a great picnic or to go salad as everything can be packed individually in small containers or even Ziploc.
Just pour and mix whenever you are ready to eat.
So, I really hope you give this salad a try soon and taste all this wonderful combination of flavors.
Wish you a great weekend and see you’ll with a new recipe on Monday 🙂
