Summer is fast approaching, so salads are making it to the table more and more.
This is one of my favorite pasta salads to make, since most of time I have things in my fridge or pantry to put in it. Get creative with it and find what you like! I’m not giving amounts for ingredients since I never measure for this. It just depends on how many of the add-ins I put in, how big of a dish I’m making, etc. And if your pasta salad will be sitting for awhile you might need to add a little more of the Italian dressing.
