If there is one meal that reigns supreme during the spring and summer months, it would most likely be pasta salad. It’s a standard at every potluck, barbecue, and graduation celebration. We cannot get enough! And the dish I have for you today is a fresh twist that is brimming with early-season fruit. With beautiful splashes of color and a deliciously creamy sauce, this simple Layered Spring Pasta Salad will be the star of the show at any event.

The base of this salad is bowtie pasta cooked just to al dente; we want it to retain its structure. Then comes the fresh crunch of chopped romaine lettuce, peas, and mukimame (soy beans). The beans can also be bought in the freezer section, or if they are not available, snap peas can be used instead. Cubed ham and artichoke hearts give savory taste, while sliced radishes and green onions add a spicy bite.

If I may say so, the colors and flavors complement each other well.Layer everything together as directed in the recipe, then stand back to see your masterpiece! Finish with our creamy homemade dressing and stir just before serving (so everyone can enjoy your handiwork). Enjoy this fresh and tasty Layer Spring Pasta Salad at your next gathering and watch it go in no time!
