Note: if you do decide to make this in advance, toss on some whole basil leaves before serving to make your salad instantly prettier. I took extra care to make sure that all of this week’s recipes are not just easy, but also easy to make in advance… because I totally get that you don’t want to be futzing with your salad when you could be spending time outside with your friends.
It comes together in no time, it’s full of fresh ingredients, and it packs a flavorful punch. Today’s recipe is a picnic-perfect pasta salad! Every cookout needs a great pasta salad, and this is the one that I’ll be making all summer long.
