Summer Pasta Salads

I realize that talking about the weather is nobodys idea of interesting conversation. But people, its hot. If we are to be eating anything other than sorbet or chips and guacamole (both of which made up a substantial portion of my diet yesterday), then it needs to be cool and slurpy and delicious. Like pasta salad.


I know what youre thinking. Pasta salad? Doesnt that tend to be, well, kind of awful? Agreed. But it doesnt have to be. And so, on this sweltering day, I present a better pasta salad — a mayo-free pasta salad. A pasta salad filled with summer vegetables and punchy dressing. In fact, I present five of them. You can read about them (and about my pasta salad credo in general) over at NPRs Kitchen Window.
