Soup turned salad……..Minestrone Salad. Thick Italian minestrone is a combination of vegetables, pasta, beans, and tomatoes. Perfect for a snowy winter warm up. But, it’s summer….and, its hot. I really don’t want soup. But the flavors of Minestrone sound really good…..lets try a salad!! Since there is no set recipe for minestrone…..according to Wikipedia. so
