    I hadn’t realized I was craving pasta salad until right about now. Your pasta salad looks really good. I was just looking at cucumbers the other day at the store, and thought I don’t need one this week, but now I’m wishing I had picked one up.

    Yummy! That looks delicious! This would be a perfect lunch for me to fuel up my carbs before an evening run. I think I will give this a try as soon as I complete my 21 days gluten free. I will be devouring lots of pasta to fuel up for my upcoming half marathons! Thanks for sharing! Greek salads are the best!

    Ps: I’m I the only one who automatically thinks pesto cavatappi from Noodles when I see that shape of noodles?
