I like to make this salad in the morning and then tuck it into the refrigerator for dinner. When the temps haven’t been below 110 in a week, there is nothing like a super easy cold pasta salad to make us all happy. I love easy meals like this one all summer long!
I ran across this recipe on my friend Kristen’s website a while back and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. This is such a simple recipe, and yet the flavors work well together to create a salad that tastes like much more than the few ingredients required. My husband is not usually a big fan of pasta nights, so the first time I made this, I planned to serve this pasta just to my kids and myself. However, he tasted the salad when we were serving the plates and he wound up eating a full serving. That’s a serious thumbs up from him! For the bacon lover in your life, you’ll want to try the BLT Pasta Salad as well! {originally published 5-2-2014 – recipe notes and photo updated 6-23-15} ONE YEAR AGO: Tangy Memphis Style ColeslawTWO YEARS AGO: Pineapple Coconut BarsTHREE YEARS AGO: Basil Cucumber GimletFOUR YEARS AGO: Strawberry Spinach Salad
