As soon as I saw this recipe on my instagram feed I knew I needed to make it. I love pasta salad and spinach artichoke dip so this was a match made in heaven. We made it this week and it was devoured in 2 days. If you don’t follow @twopeasandpod on instagram you should- their recipes are always on point! This is such a great Summer salad. We ate it for lunch but if you wanted it for dinner it would be great served with grilled chicken or shrimp. Enjoy!
