Lightened Up Amish Pasta Salad
Here I present my recipe for Lightened Up Amish Pasta Salad;
Through my years of blogging I’ve found myself making many ‘confessions’. Well, I have another one. I don’t know why this pasta salad is called Amish…
Neither does google… Trust me I checked.
What I can say is this pasta salad is creamy and tangy with a slight crunch from the fresh veggies. I love the pop of colour from the paprika and I know this is the perfect side for your next barbecue 🙂
My lightened up version of an American classic perfect for your next bbq; a yummy, creamy, tangy pasta salad with a little crunch too!
