Hi everyone! I know summer is (sadly) coming to an end. However, it just occurred to me that I’ve never shared my favorite pasta salad recipe with you all. I usually make this dish when I’m feeding a large crowd, or when I need to make an easy, delicious, and refreshing side dish for a BBQ or cookout. This summer pasta salad is always a crowd favorite! The best part? You can customize it to your liking and can change it up every time, if you wish to do so. I’m sharing my exact recipe below:
- Bow tie pasta
- Feta cheese
- Small white beans (2 cans)
- Black olives
- Red, yellow, & green peppers
- Grape tomatoes
- Asparagus
- Cucumber
- Italian dressing
Start by boiling the pasta, and chopping all veggies. Combine all veggies into a large bowl while the pasta cooks/cools. Once the pasta has cooled down a bit, combine all ingredients into the large bowl. Stir in a bit of dressing. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, stir in additional dressing and serve!
Please let me know if you try this easy summer pasta salad recipe. I would love to know what you think!
