Pasta salad with artichokes and surimi crab sticks is easy-to-do recipe, and low-fat-and-low-calorie pasta, ideal for summer days and meal, buffet-style all year. It was an hot day in summer, so a hot day that I had no desire to go to the grocery. So I opened a can of steamed artichohes in slices and chopped some surimi crab stick to dress my pasta. My husband and I enjoyed a lot this cold pasta dish.

Menu planning
- - This is a very simple-and-quick-to-do pasta salad recipe. A tasty cold dish for your family in summer.
- - This pasta salad is too easy to serve in a buffet or a special occasion, but the fact remains that you could choose it if you have to receive guests that arrive unexpectedly or with little warning. That 's why I always recommend to take home a supply of groceries. It is not recommended to eat canned food according to healthy eating the but there are times when their help becomes invaluable ;))
Healthy eating
- - Pasta salad with artichokes and surimi crab sticks has a right amount of calories, fat, protein, carbohydrate. Complete your meal with raw or cooked seasonal vegetable if you are still hungry (dressed with 1 teaspoon of olive oil) and fruit.
I remember you pasta should be eaten preferably at lunch and the calories eaten at lunch should be 500 - 700
Here are the doses per head: 70g (2 1/2 ounces) pasta, 100g (3 1/2 ounces) canned artichokes, 45g (1.6 ounce) surimi crab sticks, aromatic herbs, onion and one teaspoon olive oil. - - As you can see it's a tomato-free recipe, ideal for people intolerant or alergic to tomatoes.
- - If you want to drink a glass of beer as we suggest below remember you have to add about 34 kcal per 100 ml.
