A component that we love to have at our grill outs, picnics or outside summer get together is salads. Lettuce salads, potato salads, slaws or pasta salads makes no difference. It is just a great accompaniment for sandwiches, grilled meat, or whatever the entrée may be. This pasta salad recipe adds a bit of spice to the life of the picnic as well.
