When basil is in season, I have to make fresh pesto. You can use it in so many ways, but this Pesto Pasta Salad is one of the best!

My warm Mediterranean Pasta dish was my inspiration for this Pasta Salad, perfect as a cool dinner on a hot summer evening.

Are you looking for a substantial summer salad that is filling enough to be an entree, but can also make a perfect lunch or side dish?
