Oh So Easy Pasta Salad!

Summer-Time means that we enjoy 

lots of quick and yummy salads!

Pasta Salad 

is so quick and easy to throw together and uses ingredients we usually always have on hand.

I love making pasta salad in the summer  

as it is pretty much a complete meal in one and I love it when we go on an outing and we can take a smaller cooler as we don’t have to pack so much food.  

Pasta salad, some fruit and a muffin make a great lightweight lunch!

This is pretty much an "anything goes" salad  

and you can throw in whatever things in you have on hand. 

I have also added in chopped broccoli, or a cooked chicken breast and sprinkled with Parmesan Cheese.
