After what seems like a month of solid rain, the UK has finally had some sun! Every time that yellow ball comes out in this sky, I crave something light and summery.
I love salads and have a newfound love of a pasta salad.
The beauty of these is that you can really freestyle and throw in as many veggies and salad items as you like.
I actually made this to take with me for a picnic. I wasn't planning on doing it as a recipe, but posted it on my Instagram stories and HUNDREDS of you voted to see the full recipe.
