Shrimp and Asparagus Noodle Salad
Next in our series of ‘overlapping meals‘, here is a wonderful Asian inspired main dish salad that is quick to prepare on a hot summer evening. I love this cross between a pasta dish and a salad!

You basically can use it as a healthier substitute most places you would use rice or couscous. I found mine at Trader Joe’s… but if you can’t find it at your local supermarket, you can order qui…
Cucumber & Tomato Summer Salad
Editor’s Note: Republished for our Summer recipe series!
