Spring Pasta Salad

Just because we’re stuck at home, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy seasonal eats! Most farmers markets are still open, and you can even source directly from some farms in the area.

The markets are practicing safety by enforcing social distancing in lines and picking the items for customers instead of the serve yourself method. Grab some spring things and make a big bowl of this pasta salad to have for lunch during the week, which gets even better the longer it hangs out in the fridge!

My neighbor, Eric, came over one day and showed me how easy it is to prepare these beauties and they last up to EIGHT months in the fridge! Make some this week between blizzard shoveling shifts.
