Tri-Color Pasta Salad
I always make this dish for my Memorial Day BBQ. Whether I am having a BBQ or going to one. This beautiful dish makes any table stand out. In this recipe I use tri-color spiral pasta but you can use any type or shape of pasta that you desire. I think the tri-color pasta just makes it look more pretty and add so much color to your dish.
