Bloody mary pasta salad
Pasta is an absolute weeknight staple, and it’s no wonder. It’s cheap, filling, and so easy to make. That said, if your classic spaghetti dish is no longer cutting it, it might be time to switch things up and a great way to do that is with this super yummy Bloody Mary Pasta Salad. I love this pasta because it’s meant to be enjoyed cold so you can make a big batch during your Sunday meal prep and enjoy throughout the week. It’s inspired by all of the deliciousness of a classic Bloody Mary cocktail so it’s got lots of delicious tomatoes, celery, and olives plus big flavour boosters like horseradish, Worcestershire, and hot sauce. I’ll drink to that!
