Salads, to me, mean the season is just right for summer barbecues and gatherings with family and friends. I know I’ve shared a few salad recipes recently, but I think that may be because I’m so looking forward to this coming season! This week’s featured recipe is another yummy, quick and easy pasta salad! Tangy Summer Pasta Salad is so simple, yet so delicious, that it certainly didn’t last long at this house! The combination of tri-colored pasta, delicious sun dried tomatoes, and other yummy veggies is a delight to the taste buds, for sure! And isn’t everything better with the savory, scrumptious flavor of BACON? Until next time, have a great week! Lisa
