We live in year-round hot, humid weather, which has me wanting to make cooler dishes like pasta salads. Many recipes are easy to adapt for kids if I omit things they don’t like, like red and green onions. Pepperoni, olives, cucumbers, and grated parmesan cheese are their favorite ingredients. Sadly I haven’t gotten them to like tomatoes yet, perhaps my favorite fruit! Here are 12 pasta salad recipes for you or your kids!
