Pasta Salads are one of my favorite recipes to make during the warm summer months. Primarily because I’m a huge pasta lover, but also because I love the combination of chilled pasta mixed with veggies and covered in a tangy vinaigrette dressing. Pasta salads are extremely versatile, easy to make and they hold up very well in the fridge which makes them perfect for leftovers. And they make pretty large servings, so they’re great for parties and cookouts!
