1. D's Basil Pesto Pasta Salad - I didn't use a particular recipe and instead, used a lot of eyeballing of ingredients and some imaginative pairings. Though it seemed like everyone found it edible, if even tasty, I know exactly what I would do differently next time. Since I honestly don't know many of the measurements, let me at least share the ingredients that I used:
- Rotilli pasta
- Fresh basil + 5 cloves of garlic + Extra Virgin Olive Oil + salt = basil pesto! {the garlic overpowered the basil}
- Sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil
- Roasted red and yellow peppers
- Though I forgot, I would have added some corn salsa (white&yellow corn, jalapeno, red onion)
- Goddess dressing to taste & toss
2. Simple Summer Salad - super simple, super scrumptious (I love alliteration)
- Baby spinach and arugula mix
- Red bell pepper, chopped
- Grape tomatoes
- Shredded carrots
- Feta cheese and toasted pecans on the side {for those w/ cheese or nut allergies}
- Balsamic vinegrette to taste & toss (Remember, a little goes a long way)
