Ranch Summer Pasta Salad Recipe

May 1, 2015

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things about summer is throwing (and attending) summer BBQs. Eating al fresco with friends or family and letting the little ones run around and play outside is the best. Whether I’m doing the entertaining or heading to a party as a guest, I like to make healthy and delicious meals that are crowd-pleasers and that are also really easy to prepare. One of my favorites is a cold pasta salad. This summer pasta salad recipe is relatively healthy, budget-friendly, and so yummy.

Chandra is a mom of three boys (8, 4, and 3) and the founder of Oh Lovely Day, a lifestyle blog with a honest look at motherhood. She is trying to create more of an open dialogue with a no-judgement attitude about the struggles of mothers, mental health, postpartum depression, breastfeeding, baby wearing, and just doing the best we can and not being too hard on ourselves. In that vein, she started the hashtag #battlefieldmotherhood to encourage her fellow mothers to share on Instagram as well. She believes in dance parties, desserts during nap time, and a good hike can cure almost anything. And someday she hopes to sleep and date her husband again.
