Simple Herby Pasta Salad
This Simple Herby Pasta Salad is your new go-to BBQ side. Tossed in a bright, zingy dijon dressing (we doubled it so you can sauce to your liking), it’s packed with juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and chopped salami. Hearty enough to eat on its own, but even better next to smoky ribs or grilled chicken. Fresh, crunchy, and made to get better with time.
