salads are one of my all time favrites
This looks like a 'keeper'! I think it would be a lovely salad for a pot luck and I'm always looking for something new. Your family photos are beautiful. After all these years I see the changes in the grandchildren – lovely across the miles to share this virtual acquaintance.
So colorful. Looks yummy, too.
The salad sounds soo good. I wonder if I can find that pasta in a gluten free way? I'd love to make it if I could. The family pics are such good ones. Glad your summer is going well.
That looks like some refreshing summer eating!!
I always enjoy seeing your family photos! Lots of "happenings" in your world, which comes with having lots of people to love. Good times!
Well it looks as though you certainly have had a busy month! I saw this beautiful salad on your facebook page…it is truly beautiful and looks delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe and enjoy your week 🙂
