Default Boosting nutrition in pasta salad for toddler

O is 15 months. He loves pasta salad. Any non dairy thoughts on boosting it up.

I made macaroni salad with pasta, vegenaise, red pepper, celery, green onion, apple cider vinegar. He loves it! I didn't think he would do well with it. But, he does.

I was thinking avocado, peas, olives..Maybe a super fattening healthy dressing. He is a little guy and any extra calories are great. I think maybe a different pasta, too.

Do you eat eggs? I would add egg yolks for sure.

If not, coconut oil, butternut squash puree, and nutritional yeast are my go to foods for boosting nutrition.

if you're not opposed to egg, I'd go with Barilla Plus pasta. It's made with mostly chick-pea and is 17g of protein per serving.

Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the world. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down. Tells you she's hurting before she keens. Makes her a home.

We have chickens. I could add eggs. He seems to be fine with them I think. They cause a few of us some major gastro problems. Squash purée would be wonderful. I always keep some on hand, too.

What do you usually do with squash....I would love to know.

I was thinking of getting that pasta for him next time. My kids really liked it.

I make Mirepoix with squash instead of carrots, and add it to pretty much everything.

I've done that too. Also nutmeg makes it taste like dessert pasta
