Pasta salad is another summer side staple that can be made so many ways! There’s mayo based and vinaigrette based- which is your favorite? I think I like one better, then I try the other one, and am back to square one of not being able to decide (really trying to work on my indecisiveness). This vinaigrette version gets cleaned up and made gluten-free, and I promise you, your people won’t be able to tell!
