Take this perfect summer side dish to your next BBQ and it’s sure to be a hit! I have also used these same ingredients (minus the pasta) and served it as a dip with crackers. Click here for the dip recipe.
It’s best to make this the night before, so that everything is nice and chilled; but, if you’re pressed for time – just make sure to refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
