Pasta salad is one of those foods that is good year round but is great in the summer time. I talk about summer foods like it's actually summer here and we woke up to snow almost every morning this week! But since it is most likely summer weather where you are I wanted to share my hubby's pasta salad recipe with you. It is so good and the perfect light dinner or you can double the recipe and take it to a potluck.
