Start your pasta water. Once at a boil, add noodles and cook till just done (al dente)
While your pasta is cooking, cook your protein if needed
When protein is done, place in freezer
Prep your veggies or fruit. The recipe that I am using above was with frozen veggies, so I didn't have to prep anything
When pasta is done, drain and then rinse with cold water for about 30 sec to 1 minute.
Add everything into a big bowl and mix with salad dressing of choice.
You can serve immediately or place in refrigerator.
