Summer Arugula Pasta Salad

Summer Pasta Salad

This Summer Pasta Salad is perfect for the 4th of July. You really can’t have a cookout without a good pasta salad and this one is to die for. It is quick, simple and easy to alter to your liking. You want more dressing? Shake it on. You Like more arugula? Toss in an extra handful. I love recipes that are easy to manipulate to your liking. It is also easy to play around with the spices for this dish.
