Pasta salad

Picnics are the perfect occasion to prepare cold pasta salad. Pick your favorite short pasta—bowties, rotini, shells, etc. Cook and let cool completely. Add some chopped hot dogs, cherry tomatoes and lettuce with a light homemade vinaigrette. It's super easy to prepare and carry with you in a large covered bowl or Tupperware. Vary the recipe according to your tastes: tuna pasta salad, Italian pasta salad with salami and pepperoncini, etc.
