Pasta salad (Ensalada de pasta)
Ingredients:
Pasta cooked in salt and water: lettuce cut into fine julienne;
green onions, thinly sliced ; tomato salad, cut into dice; cooked
ham, cut into dice; surimi sticks, diced; hardboiled egg, diced;
cheese (cheese of any kind), diced; mayonnaise, or pink
sauce.
Preparation: What is left to do now is to mix all the ingredients
and add the mayonnaise on top of it (you can also use pink
sauce).
The photo of this pasta salad doesn't show the mayonnaise or
pink sauce on it. Also, many of these ingredients are optional
and can be replaced for any other ingredients: canned tunna,
boiled ham, surimi, etc.

Notas: Carbohydrates and Fiber
Pasta is rich in beneficial carbohydrates. A cup of white spaghetti provide 43 grams of carbohydrates, while an equivalent serving of wholewheat spaghetti offers 37 grams of total carbs. Carbs serve as a primary source of energy for our body. Whole-wheat pasta also provides a
considerable amount of dietary fiber, so it's a particularly beneficial type of carbohydrate. Fiber helps fight chronic diseases -- including obesity
and type 2 diabetes -- and it also promotes digestive health. A 1-cup serving of whole-wheat pasta contains 6.3 grams of dietary fiber, providing
17 percent of the recommended daily intake for men and 24 percent for women. White pasta , that is, whole-wheat pasta, is lower in fiber, and
about 2.5 grams per serving.
