I am starting to really look forward to warmer weather and all of the changes in the kitchen that occur with that. I do love my comfort food and nothing can ever replace a good, old-fashioned hot casserole or steamy bowl of soup in my opinion. But I do love the salads and fresh fruits and veggies that come with summer.
This is one of my all-time favorite pasta salad recipes. During the summer, I make this at least once a week. The original recipe, which I lost a long time ago, came from my aunt. So I’ve been enjoying this ever since I was a little girl and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet!
