Simple Mother’s Day Pasta Salad Recipe & Giveaway

Mother’s Day is almost here! Good Papa and I are fortunate that we are so close to both our mothers. We are able to stop by and visit with both in one day.

Good Papa usually takes care of all the cooking/food arrangements on my birthday and Mother’s Day. Since we’ll be out of the house this year, I thought it might be nice to make something in advance so no one has to worry about cooking on that day.

Simple Mother’s Day Pasta Salad Recipe

Pasta salad is the perfect, simple dish to make ahead. You can really throw whatever you want in there, and it gets better the longer it sits. It’s also a great way to sneak in some extra veggies.

This is a Mother’s Day post, so I thought I’d text my own mother to see if she had any ideas for what to add in my pasta salad recipe. She sent me her easy, Greek-style recipe and I whipped it up the next day. Yum!
