Gluten Free "Black Bean" Pasta Salad

I never see a reason to sacrifice flavor or texture and wonder how is it possible to make gluten free pasta that has the same delicious bite as wheat pasta. I was completely surprised to discover this penne pasta made from black beans is perfectly chewy and takes seasoning incredibly well. This beautiful and delicious salad has it all, from the right bite to the pasta, to artSAVOR 80 combined with creamy, pungent and crunch of the of the vegetables and cheese, all brought together with artSAVOR 75 vinaigrette. This simple healthy salad makes a delightful course to any dining experience.
