When I think of warm summer days I automatically think of pasta salad. It just doesn't feel right if I'm hanging out on the patio or by the pool and a chilled bowl of pasta salad isn't present. Knowing that, I also want to spend minimal time in the kitchen on those warm summer days and this dairy-free pesto pasta salad makes it easy to get a pasta salad on the table! Although it's simple, it's also delicious and flavorful. To make it even easier, feel free to use rotisserie chicken or another store-bought fully cooked chicken. It'll be on repeat all summer once you try it!
