When my granddaughter was learning about shapes, I made this with wagon wheel pasta, and cut all the ingredients so they were circles. I told little EB we were having Circle Salad for supper and she was so excited she clapped and jumped, and said “Hurray!” She ate a big bowlful, even the green onion!

While many of the recipes I shared here are not even close to low sodium, I myself definitely fit into that category nowadays. Most of these I just don't make anymore and the few I do are only with big changes/substitutions.
