creamy pasta salad

a summertime mouth party 🎉

pasta salad is a summer staple of mine, and now my little kids are into it, too! They ask for this salad on repeat and I’m happy to oblige because it’s one of my favorites.

This is one thing I love to meal prep and have in the fridge for easy, awesome lunches. I do like pairing it with a grilled chicken to make it a well rounded meal that keeps us full until dinner!
