June RECIPE: Italian Pasta Salad
Italian Pasta Salad is a delicious, easy-to-make staple side dish for any gathering! Tricolor rotini pasta, fresh veggies, and bite-sized mozzarella balls, all tossed in a zesty yet creamy Greek yogurt dressing. Simple yet so good, this vegetarian Italian Pasta Salad recipe is the kind of dish that both impresses guests and adds a vibrant touch to any BBQ, picnic, or potluck.

What did I do wrong? I followed directions exactly. I made yesterday in the evening to serve today & it seems dry & def not creamy. The Italian seasoning is a little much as well. I guess I will add a little more yogurt or some olive oil🤷🏻♀️
Sounds like your pasta might have soaked up a lot of the sauce, you can add more if needed.
what a lovely salad and so many other different meals I am enjoying doing ♥️☺️ Merci! I love every I have tried so far.
So glad you are enjoying it, Pascale!
Tasty pasta salad which feels fresh to eat in summer weather. Easy to assemble, will be making again.
Not US based so hopefully the challenge prizes will be available in Europe soon.
Lol
Thank you! I will look into doing an Amazon prize in the EU! Thanks for the feedback!
Recipe is easy, delicious, and most importantly, kids approved 😂👍. Perfect combination for summer. Loved it !
So happy to hear that!
