[three-fourths]Tri-Color Rotini Pasta Salad
Here’s the great recipe my friend, Katy shared over at her blog, that was a huge hit at my church picnic. My tip, go heavy on the dressing. The pasta really soaks that stuff up![/three-fourths] [row-end]
So glad you tried the pasta salad! I should probably tweak the requirements for dressing in there…I honestly put in probably too much, so I was trying to be kind with my measurements. I get a little wild with this recipe, haha. It’s so good!
Katy – I LOVE this recipe. So incredibly easy and delectable! I think I went easy on the dressing especially in comparison to the amount of pasta I used. But this is a definite keeper! Thanks again for sharing it in the first place. 🙂
