Summer Pasta Salad
Summer is here, barbecues, picnics... there's no doubt that eating outdoors is a highlight of summer. Make the most of it with this summer pasta salad. This is fresh, fun, super easy pasta salad. It’s dressed in a pesto dressing and I promise you won’t be able to stop at just one bite.
I usually like my pasta salad loaded with a ton of veggies, cheeses, and meats – like tuna, chicken, shredded beef– but since I wanted something simple and fast, I decided to shake
things up and try a new recipe. It turned out to be so simple, so fresh and so summery!
