Spied it, Tried it: Caprese Pasta

I’m not a big salad eater. Sure, I like salad, but as much as I wish I did, I never crave salad. Chocolate, yes. Salad, no. The only salad that ever comes close to making my mouth truly water is Caprese salad, with its juicy tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil. Now that’s a salad I could eat again and again.

I love adding pasta into the Caprese mix, so I scoured my Pinterest boards this month for the perfect Caprese-style pasta.

All of these Caprese pasta dishes sounded wonderful, but since one of my goals this month is to make a salad from my Salads and Sandwiches Pinterest board, I decided to go with the pasta salad from Iowa Girl Eats. A pasta salad may be a bit of a “cheater” salad, but I think it still counts. 

It turned out wonderfully, although the yellow grape tomatoes that were on sale didn’t look as pretty in the pictures as their bright red counterparts. The taste, however, was still delicious. For me, it’s all about those heavenly little mozzarella balls anyway. 

Have you made any good salads lately?
