Hi Reader!

If you haven't been checking in daily, here's what you missed on Rachel Cooks this week! You'll see I'm still hanging on to summer. In fact as I write this, it's 90 degrees in Michigan, so summer is definitely still here!

This recipe is one of my go-to pasta salad recipes because of how much everyone always raves over it!
