Summer Pasta Salad Recipes -

Summer heat lends itself to quicker cooler meals and sides like pasta salad. I did not grow up eating or learning to make pasta salad. You see my family never went to yearly family reunions or very many Summer potlucks or picnic dinners. Since I enjoy eating pasta salads that I have eaten at such events it only seems natural for me to learn to make my own. My hubby likes pasta salad as well and one day hope that our children will enjoy them as much as we do!

I have made two pasta salad recipes so far which were very simple and easy to make. I made one Italian flavored pasta salad and then a few weeks later made a Cheese Bacon and Ranch Pasta Salad. Now I would like to expand my pallet and in order to do so I gathered up a list of pasta salad recipes to try. Since our garden has not been as successful as I had hoped I do not want to waste any fresh ingredients hence the need for actual pasta salad recipes.
