Pasta salads can be served as a main dish with a side of grilled corn on the cob and fresh fruit, or as side dish served with something off the grill, like my favorite Marinated Chicken.
If you’re looking for a super fast and easy summer side dish that’s packed with flavor, this one is for you! I love adding homemade basil pesto to this recipe but it’s delicious with a high quality store-bought pesto too, and you can add the pesto straight from the jar.
Ingredients needed:
Pasta: I use farfalle but any bite-size noodles will work. Tomatoes: any chopped fresh tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes. Cucumber: I prefer English cucumbers or mini cucumbers. Fresh Mozzarella, cut into chunks. Pesto: Homemade or store-bought. Parmesan cheese: freshly grated.
