Summer Fresh Pasta Salad

Summer just calls out for pasta salad.  My mom made the version with the little ditalini pasta and lots of mayonnaise, eggs, and cheddar cheese!  And I love pasta salads – of any kind, but I was looking for something a little lighter – a little fresher – something that said summer with a lot less fat.

Then came this super simple salad with fresh ingredients from your garden or the farmer’s market.  It refreshes your mouth and satisfies your belly and has summer all over it!

Here’s what you need:

Dressing:

Here’s how to Do it:

Put all those delicious  ingredients into a large bowl, then toss it all together.

Put all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl blend them together using a wire whisk.  Toss with the salad.

Cover and refrigerate at least overnight – 24 hours is better.

Serves 8

As with any salad that uses a mayonnaise based dressing, it’s best to keep it on ice or put it back in the refrigerator after everyone has been served.

Enjoy the rest of summer!
