So, I went into my kitchen today to make this, and my roommate Susan was already creating something nearly identical for today’s potluck. She graciously let me make a dressing and we combined forces for this delicious pasta salad – a great summertime dish.

This is a mix-and-match dish, an empty-your-fridge salad. You can really add whatever you like to some macaroni or bow tie pasta, but here is what Susan had in mind…

Ingredients

1 Bag of Pasta (macaroni or bow tie work great)

1 Can of Salad Beans

1 Corn on the Cob, stripped (a can of corn will work too)

1 Red Onion, diced

1 Box of Cherry Tomatoes, halved

1 Stalk of Celery, chopped

Arugula

1 Green Pepper, diced

1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/4 Cup Fresh Dill, minced (1.5 Tablespoon of dried dill works too)

Juice of 1 Lemon

Zest of 1 Lemon

Salt & Pepper to taste

Method
