| Seafood Pasta Salad |
Aren’t potlucks are a fantastic way to
entertain.
Everyone pitches in and at the end of
the day there's a bounty of beautiful dishes without the host feeling entirely
overworked.
Being gluten free, I
particularly love a potluck.
For me it
is the perfect opportunity to bring a dish that I’m sure I can eat without the risk of becoming ill.
When choosing what I might bring to the party I like to carry along two dishes, a dessert and something savory. For the latter I lean towards something that
can serve almost as an entire meal in itself.
By doing this, even if no one else brings a gluten free dish, I know I
can comfortably enjoy the gathering without starving.
This seafood pasta salad delivers in
spades. The pasta covers the starch in
my meal and since I don’t skimp on the seafood, the protein is covered too. Maybe someone will bring a crudité tray and
my veggies requirement will be satisfied. Or maybe next time I can add a few more veggies right to the salad.
This dish was actually developed as
part of a Youtube collaboration done with some other fantastic cooking
shows. Each channel did a dish that
would be perfect for Memorial day.
You can check out further details on
their dishes at the end of the Youtube Video tutorial posted on this blog.
