When I worked as an interior designer there was a little cafe down the road from our fabric and upholstery shop. We frequented there for lunch to pick up sandwiches and soups, but their pasta salad became my fave! My co-worker and I decided for what we were paying for a small cup everyday we could make some to last our small staff for a week. So we did.
I worked hard on the recipe until it was just right! It is super simple and mixes up our norm around the Jackson house. It's perfect for the spring time to take to Easter lunch or a backyard BBQ.

Speaking of Easter lunch... if you're looking for a fantastic dessert, I'm your girl! If you're in the Jacksonville area, I'd love to make something sweet for you to share with your loved ones. Send us a request. Here's a tease of what we can make!
