Growing up in the Midwest, I was very grateful to have a pool during the humid summer months. What went well with a pool was pool parties! While my dad fired up the grill with hamburgers and German brats, my mom knew our family and friends would be wanting her pasta salad on the side, filled with Wisconsin sharp cheddar cheese and crispy fresh veggies that are cool and colorful.
My mom was not a baker because of the intricate measurements and orderly directions so with her pasta salad, she always believed there are no exact measurements required. We recently mixed up this salad in the 12 Tomatoes kitchen, and it brought me back to Fourth of July Picnics and dinners out on the patio. Make sure you make a little extra, as my mom believes it’s “always better on the second day!”
