When I reconnected with a childhood friend and she made this pasta salad it immediately brought me back to the memories of her mom’s pasta salad that was the best I ever had. I finally got the recipe and now you can have it too.

I wish I had found this last night – I ended up making a black bean, quinora, chickpea, garlic and olive pasta salad with rosemary and lemon dressing.

This looks great! I don’t make pasta salad enough, but I love eating it. I love how simple and flavorful this is.
