Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I am a big fan of sun dried tomatoes, but I honestly have never cooked with them.  I was excited to receive a sampling of sun dried tomatoes from Bella Sun Luci.  They are located in Northern California.  They use family recipes in their products too.  You can use their sun dried tomatoes in a variety of different ways.  You can eat them on fresh bread, incorporate them in cooking, use them on salads, or even sandwiches.  How do you like to eat sun dried tomatoes.  I really found that I like them just mixed in with pasta as a light and tasty sauce.  It is so simple to do this way too.  

I decided I wanted to try and make something with these.  I came up with a tasty cold pasta salad recipe.  This incorporates Bella Sun Luci's sun dried tomatoes with a tangy dressing.  I also added some grilled chicken, cheese and veggies.  This is a great light meal with a slice of fresh bread.  My family loved it.
