If you're like me, then you find it difficult to eat hot, heavy meals on hot summer days. You also find it difficult to keep the dinner menu fresh and different. Well this evening is one of those hot summer days and I am all out of unique dishes to come up with. But, I dug around in the fridge, freezer, and pantry and decided that with the ingredients I have a cold pasta salad would be just the trick for an enjoyable meal. Not only is it going to be a cold delight for dinner, but it was so simple to put together!
