Easy Pasta Salad
I had to stop my hubby from another helping of this pasta salad. The first thing he said was, "Oh my gosh, this is so nice!", and I got rewarded with some appreciative kisses after he was done with dinner. Fusilli tossed with homemade dressing, freshly diced vegetables, and crumbled feta cheese. This recipe is super simple & yummy. An awesome make ahead recipe too!
