If you plan on experiencing summer food at all, you sort of have to have a great pasta salad recipe up your sleeve. Picnics, cook outs, pot lucks – I would bring this fresh, summer greek pasta salad to any of them. You can also roast up some chicken (I like something for this in a lemon-y marinade), but you would be an even better summer maiden GRILLING it in the sunshine. David is very very into mediterranean food of any kind so I get a gold star from the family when I make this.
GREAT PICNIC FOOD! We like to make it on a friday night and eat on paper plates and then watch a movie. THE FAMILY SEEMED BLESSED.
