Getting my summer recipes ready.
Not quite summer yet but I thought ... Why not!
With Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken in the oven, this is a great light side for it.
Going light tonight!

You can never wrong with this pasta salad, with the summer heat, you don't want to use Mayo. Unless you don't like your guests. LOL! ;)
This salad is best prepared the night before.
This is best paired with anything that you grill or just a simple roasted chicken.
Great for picnics, bbq grillin' with friends or family, or just for a light lunch .
Best served chilled.
