Last weekend, we celebrated an early Father's Day with a cook-out for Jim's family at our house. As we planned the menu for the event, I was in search of a pasta salad that I could serve alongside the burgers and hot dogs. I happened upon this one at Pearls, Handcuffs, and Happy Hour. I don't know who Jill is, but she makes a damn tasty pasta salad! I'm such a sucker for any combination of tomato and basil - yum!
This salad makes a great side to any summer barbecue or an awesome entree by itself! It tasted best after it had chilled in the refrigerator overnight.
