Soup is well known as an ingredient catch-all most of the year but in the hottest summer months, save for a nod to great gazpacho, I say cold pasta salad can fill the same role just as well.<\/p>\n
Boil any pasta you have around then run it under cold water immediately after to stop the cooking. Toss in your largest mixing bowl adding a few pours of good olive oil then start clearing the fridge, garden, and pantry with wild abandon of any tasty bits as you see fit. I usually make a fresh batch of mayo<\/a> flavoured appropriately for the occasion and avoid most fresh dairy (appropriate cheeses excluded) just to give it better ‘picnic durability’ in the heat of summer.<\/p>\n Here a list of what you see mixed above but I can almost promise my next version (and any you think up) will be different. Zoom in and play \u201cWhere\u2019s Waldo\u201d with your favourite ingredient; it\u2019s probably in there. Make a huge batch since it only gets better over the next few days… if I can avoid eating it all a fork at a time with every stroll past the fridge.<\/p>\n Summer Pasta Salad<\/strong><\/p>\n – msh v.1.4<\/em><\/p>\n More Spork Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Soup is well known as an ingredient catch-all most of the year but in the hottest summer months, save for a nod to great gazpacho, I say cold pasta salad can fill the same role just as well.
