Gluten Free Pasta Salad

Happy first day of May friends!! 

I am always searching for easy lunch ideas for Hubs. The other day we were in the grocery and he picked up one of those pre-made pasta salads to eat for breakfast/lunch. As a self proclaimed chef I would much rather make my own than buy pre-made salads.  A little part of me smiled when he said he didn't like it. Of course that immediately made me want to make him one he would enjoy! One that would be tasty to him, healthy for me, and of course gluten and dairy free. I believe I succeeded.

4 stalks celery (green part only)
