Pesto Cold Pasta Salad Recipe
With the hot days of summer increasing by the moment, I hate turning on my oven so I tend to turn to recipes for things that come out cold and require no oven time. Cold pasta salads are the perfect solution. We love to try different ones and my kids really enjoy this one.
Pesto Cold Pasta Salad
4-6 c. spiral pasta
1/2 c. prepared basil pesto
1 c. mayonnaise
4 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. onion powder
1 cup canned peas
Prepare pasta as directed on package. Drain and rinse with cold water for several minutes. Drain again. In a bowl combine the pesto, mayo, lemon juice, black pepper and onion powder. Mix well. Add the noodles and peas and stir. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill. Delicious!
