Memorial Day, for all practical purposes, marks the beginning of summer. Everyone break out the flip flops and say a collective “Aahhhh.”
It also means I’ll start enjoying pasta salad. Call me strange, but I can only eat pasta salad in the summer. To me, eating macaroni salad in January is like Donald Trump’s hair…it’s just wrong. But even in summer, one can only eat so much macaroni salad. Every once in a while you’ve got to broaden your horizons and branch out into the big, wide pasta salad world.
After surfing the web, I’ve found some great new recipes from some of my favorite bloggers just in time for this weekend’s picnics. Here’s a handy list for your summer enjoyment. You’re welcome.
