PASTA SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
My family loves pasta salad during the hot summer months. It's a fresh twist on a penne pasta salad. You can substitute gluten-free pasta, if needed. The flavor is tangy and fresh. My husband, James, made this for our Mother's Day brunch as a side dish but you can add grilled chicken and enjoy it as your main course.
