What’s a BBQ without pasta salad? It’s like a child’s birthday without cake. It’s possible, but no one will keep the event in good memory ;P Of course, this is a little exaggerated, but pasta salad has always been part of a BBQ in our family. When it comes to preparing pasta salad, there are two ways to do it – the »purists« use a simple vinaigrette with oil and vinegar – the »others« prefer a salad dressing with mayonnaise. Loads of mayonnaise sometimes ;P I like both, but how about a third option? This Italian Pasta Salad with Arugula Pesto is something different… very delicious! Worth trying something new ;)
