Italian Pasta Salad with Prosciutto, Bacon, Tomatoes, and Mozzarella 🍅

Cherry tomatoes are one of those ingredients I buy whenever they look especially good. They are sweet, bright, easy to use, and they can carry a simple pasta salad without needing much fuss around them.

This Italian pasta salad brings them together with tender pasta shells, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, crisp bacon, basil, Italian dressing, and a little red pepper flakes. The shells are especially good here because they catch small pieces of bacon, tomato, mozzarella, and dressing inside their curves.

I’ve been putting microgreens on just about everything lately. 🌱 These are arugula microgreens, piled high over egg salad on toasted honey wheat bread. And that bread? Oh my gosh. SO good. 🍞

If you’ve never tried arugula microgreens, they have that familiar peppery bite of full-grown arugula, only in these tiny tender leaves. I love them with eggs because they cut through the richness of egg salad and add a fresh little crunch. They’re also wonderful on sandwiches, avocado toast, salads, burgers, or tucked into a grilled cheese.

The honey wheat came from a local bakery we found. Finding a good loaf of locally baked bread is exactly the sort of thing that makes an ordinary lunch worth looking forward to. Toast it, pile on homemade egg salad, add a ridiculous amount of microgreens, and lunch is done. 🥚🌱

And yes, I put enough microgreens on there to qualify as a small garden. 😂

🥔Farmstand Roasted Cajun Potatoes

A pan of roasted potatoes can carry almost any meal, especially when the potatoes come home from a local farmstand with a little soil still clinging to their skins. Their thin red or yellow skins turn browned and slightly crisp in the oven, while the centers become soft and creamy. Thick wedges of yellow onion and shallot roast alongside them, adding sweetness and caramelized edges that balance the heat of the Cajun seasoning.
