An easy, tasty, cool and creamy pesto pasta salad, that is the perfect addition to any summer meal!
I’m blogging! about food! It’s been since February folks…but this one I just had to share! Who doesn’t love easy, delicious, summer dishes, that can accompany any summer meal? This pasta salad is a winner..we’ve already made this numerous times this year, we love it so much!
Generally, I can find my husband standing with the fridge door open, eating this straight out of the bowl..it’s that good. And its super quick! Creamy fresh pesto, I buy ours from costco, its absolutely amazing how fresh and flavorful it is, (but you can always make your own too!), sin-dried tomatoes, even more fresh basil, and feta! Oh and if you’re not a fan of feta, I’ve used parmesan too when that was all I had, both are equally as tasty!
We’ve made the majority of our dinners on the grill this year, as I’m sure most of you had, its just been to dang hot to turn on the stove or oven, we’re talking mid to high nineties over here, which is kind of a permanent heat wave for Washington, but I don’t want to complain to much, because the endless overcast days in the winter, are not so fun.
But I digress! This pasta salad has joined so many of those grilled meals, it goes so great with everything, plus I love to keep it on hand in the fridge all week to snack on or pile on to my plate for lunch!
I promise this one won’t disappoint at your next barbeque friends!
