It’s Summer time. Time for making all the salads you can muster up. I thought this Italian Pasta Salad would be perfect to bring on our boat ride.
This pasta salad is easy as pie.
All you have to do is chop all your ingredients, add the salad dressing to the veggies, and when the pasta is cool add the pasta to the veggies.
Put in in the fridge, chill until you need it.
It’s super delicious and super satisfying.
Bring it to pot lucks, picnics in the park, boating, the beach…it’s perfect anywhere. 
It’s as easy as 1,2,3!
1.) Cook your pasta according to package directions. Drain and put on a tray and completely cool. DO NOT RINSE!
2.) Meanwhile chop all ingredients and put into one bowl. Add salad dressing (I use Good Seasons Italian for all my salads).
3.) Mix pasta with veggies when pasta is completely cool. Put in a covered container and put in the refrigerator. When you are ready for it, add more dressing if you feel it needs it.
That’s it! 1,2,3…. a perfect Summer meal or side dish!
