Italian Pasta Salad We are entering one of the most important seasons of the year: potluck season. Grills will be lit, coolers packed, and plastic silverware upgraded to the status of fine china. I’m bringing my A-game and a giant bowl of this Italian Pasta Salad. Pin this recipe on Pinterest to save for later Pin It!0 And by “A” game, I mean appetite.
