This Caprese Pasta Salad is a hit at parties! Serve as a side, salad or appetizer. The combination of tomatoes, Mozzarella and basil is perfection!
I eat like a starving piggy every year this very week. We always make way too much food for the Super Bowl and never want any of it to go to waste. So what do we do? Eat it, of course. For breakfast, lunch and dinner until it's gone. Yay for not being wasteful but boo for over-indulging. Our menu was well-rounded and so delicious this year. One of the many foods that adorned our table was this yummy Caprese Pasta Salad. Which, by the way, is great as a side salad, main salad OR appetizer.
I am nibbling on the last of this salad as I type while secretly carving out time to make another batch tonight. Lucky for me my hubby picked up double the ingredients!
