I am always making some variation of a pasta salad. I make a few similar to this one and they are all so good! The beauty of pasta salad is you can add in any veggies or cheeses you love! I made this specific pasta salad for a church dinner last week- I tripled the recipe hence why the bowl is so large! It was a huge hit, the entire bowl was demolished. This is the perfect Summer pasta salad for cookouts, picnics, boat days you name it! You can use vinaigrette you like I used Sir Kensington Pepperoncini Vinaigrette because I personally love it! This is best served room temperature in my opinion, when pasta salad gets cold I think it looses some flavor, so if you make ahead of time just let it sit out 30 minutes to an hour before serving it! Enjoy!
