Does anyone else feel like the months are flying by? Summer parties and cookouts are just around the corner, so it’s time for me to start sharing some of my favorite go-to recipes. I have a few in my albums that I never shared and thought it might be a good time to get them up before summer kicks off!
This recipe was a bit of a tease for me this morning. I’m currently 38-weeks pregnant and have been staying away from the deli meats. You better believe this pasta salad will be on my list of recipes to make as soon as I have the baby. It’s like taking a charcuterie board to the next level! It has all of my favorite vegetables, seasonings, cheeses, meats, beans, and pasta is thrown into one bowl.

I had so many people asking for this recipe when I made it on the 4th of July! It is delicious, but look how pretty and refreshing it is for summer! You can customize this recipe in many ways. Change up the pasta, swap the cheeses, and use different vegetables or meats.
One of the best parts about this recipe is how easy and quick it is to make. There is no baking involved, and it’s a great last-minute option if you’re heading to a summer party or need a last-minute dish for a potluck.
