It’s summer and I don’t know about you, but I need some new recipes for picnics, barbecues, and camping! My husband and I recently went paddle camping for his birthday (while the kids were at camp) and when I was trying to figure out what to pack I longed for something new and different. So I put together some delicious ingredients to make this hearty, tasty, easy Italian pasta salad recipe.
I think it’s safe to say it’s one of my favorite pasta salads right now … and eating it by the river may have tasted it even better than usual! Oh how much I love summer activities, especially when it comes to water. 🙂
