When it’s warm outside and we’re approaching (or in the thick of) summertime, I start craving pasta salad. It’s just one of those summer dishes that was always around in my childhood so I want to make it all the time for pool parties or for the kids to take with them to camp during the summer. Plus I get to have it too and that’s a win-win in my book. This Tuna Pasta Salad doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to pasta salad, but it’s so tasty you’ve just got to make this recipe.
