This Italian pasta salad variation is the perfect summer side dish recipe! There’s so much in the summertime to celebrate, isn’t there? Memorial Day, graduations, Father’s Day, 4th of July… we even have some summer birthdays in our family to add to that mix! Not to mention the many beautiful, sunny days that just get us all in the mood to get together and enjoy our family and friends. Our family calendar is pretty packed this summer, and I love it! No large vacation for us this year, moving to a new house was eventful enough for us. But we’re planning lots of day trips, playground visits, and spending time with family and friends this summer. When I asked the boys what special things they’d like to do this summer, they listed fishing, mini golf, and bowling. So I’ll definitely be attempting to cross off those three on their summer bucket lists – I have to admit, they all sound like lots of fun to me, too!

Christine @ myblissfulmess says May 25, 2020 at 3:08 pm Your recipes are AMAZING and this pasta salad is no exception! I served this to guests at our cookout this last Saturday and everyone loved it! Even my picky husband complimented me on it! Woah! I used tri-color rotini just because, and the box I had was a 12 oz not a 16 oz. But that was okay! It worked out well because I made it in the morning, and by the time we were ready to set it out on the buffet, the noodles had NOT soaked up all the delicious dressing! Hooray! The leftovers the next day weren’t dried out either! I also added some red onion to it just because we love red onion in our pasta salads. Thanks for an easy and yummy recipe I know I’ll make again and again! Reply
