Berry Pesto Pasta Salad…this is the PERFECT pasta salad to bring to any summer BBQs, pool parties, or celebrations. It’s easy to make and adds such a light touch to a dinner! I might be slightly obsessed with adding berries to all of my dishes during the summer, but they truly brighten up any dish. It’s always great to take advantage of in-season produce, anyway! You can easily sub in gluten free pasta like I did or customize any of the ingredients.
I love this Thai-Inspired Pasta Salad. It’s a delicious vegan, no oven meal that is packed with nutrients. Plus, with chickpea pasta, it’s gluten free and has lots of protein. Pasta salad makes such a good weekday meal idea, and this one is colorful with so many veggies and fresh ingredients. The peanut sauce is to-die for, too! You can bookmark this for when you need a quick recipe; it works great as a side dish for any get-togethers.
