Searching for a easy pasta salad to tackle a picnic or pack for lunches? You discovered it! This Artichoke and Olive Pasta Salad is so fast and simple to make.
I picked up beautiful artichokes and saffron Kalamata olives from Amanida on the farmers market the opposite day and determined to make a easy pasta salad that will showcase them. I used beautiful rainbow pasta for this pasta salad, however after all you may use common benne or bow tie pasta as nicely!
The measurements listed here are actually pointers. Need to use an entire freaking cup of feta cheese? Zero judgement right here! Need to make an Olive palooza? Go nuts! Have oregano as an alternative of basil? Scrumptious! Need to make it heartier? Add my Good Grilled Hen.
For my farm-to-table backyard lunch (which I’ll inform you about tomorrow!), I garnished this pasta salad with squash blossoms from my backyard, which have been as scrumptious as they have been beautiful!
