Notes

  • NOTES
  • Replace the feta cheese with your favorite dairy-free substitute! Swap the fusilli for any pasta shape you wish! Even make this gluten-free. To add your daily dose of protein, add 1- 398ml can of chickpeas OR whatever you prefer YUM! Play around with the ingredients and swap ingredients or add to it! Take out the mango and add peaches or cantaloupes instead OR remove the sweet flavor and pop in some cucumber and red peppers! This is the perfect summer salad!! Salads can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 – 5 days.
