With summer just around the corner, this pasta salad is the perfect summertime meal and only takes less than 20 minutes to make. I like to prepare it in the morning, so when I come home from a long day of tanning I have a pre-made meal. Just add a glass (or a bottle) of white wine and you are set for the perfect evening.

The hardest step of this recipe is putting it in the fridge to chill. After I’m done making it, I eat half of it right out of the mixing bowl. Bon Appétit!
