Cool, easy side dishes and salads for the summer are crucial to have in your recipe file.  You never know when company will stop by or when you get invited somewhere and need to throw something together at the last minute.  Like this pasta salad.

They'll keep inviting you back, as long as you keep bringing it.


I threw this together while we were down the shore to go with sandwiches.  It totally hit the spot!  It's great if you need a dish that can be made ahead or transported.
