Pesto Caprese Pasta Salad

*Thank you Restaurantware for sponsoring* this post. All opinions are my own and would only recommend products that I personally use.

Summer pasta salads are a favorite go to for any BBQ, holiday or weeknight dinner. They are versatile and always a huge hit. I made this Pesto Caprese Pasta Salad to go along with grilled chicken. I wanted something simple but flavorful and this one hit it right on the head!

Penne pasta is tossed with diced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and sliced black olives. Dressed simply with basil pesto, fresh sliced basil, salt and pepper. The ingredients are simple, the flavors are big and this Pesto Caprese Pasta Salad would be a great side dish this weekend for 4th of July or any day of the week in my book.

If you’re making this for a party, I found a really great way to serve them… how cool are these bamboo cones that are a fabulous way to serve snack mixes, roasted nuts or candies.
