Anytime is a good time for pasta salad. Heading over to Parade to check them out! 🙂
Hooray for summer and these beautiful salads! All I will need to go with is a slice of crusty bread and a glass of wine!
Summer always sneaks up on me! But I'm really loving the coming cookout season -- so much fun. And a pasta salad is always such a great thing to put on the table. These look terrific -- thanks so much for these.
These salads are just the kind of food I love best in the summer, as a meal or with something from the grill. Such wonderful flavors and colors! I plan to try all three!
It looks really delicious!! I`m very hungry now 😀
Stunning, as always. I love your food styling, everything always looks so colorful and vibrant!!
I love all-in-one meals.....have to make some for the dinner too.
Have a lovely day, Chris!

I am so ready for cookout season!
You make the BEST salads, so I'm not surprised to see a line up of amazing pasta salads! I need to start thinking about the holiday weekend!
This look delicious;)
Oh how delicious those look! I love pasta salads in the summertime, they just taste like sunshine and happiness to me. 🙂
What a great description!!
I am so jealous that summer is on it's way for you. Starting to get chilly here!
Congratulations, good for you! Parade Magazine. Love your salads Chris!
I love pasta salads and yours all sound great! Memorial Day isn't sneaking up on me... I've been looking forward to the day off from work for a while now:@)
I love pasta salads, they're perfect when the weather gets warmer. In fact that's what I'm making this evening. Totally satisfying with some fresh berries on the side and you're set. Now I have some new recipes to add to my list.
What a great trio, Chris! They look perfect to many occasions, including picnics and parties indeed.
The school year is coming to an end. One side of me says YES... while the other says ' May the Lord help me!". 🙂
The most difficult part is choosing!
Trying again to comment - wanted to say that these are perfect for those long Summer Saturdays when it's great to have a gorgeous salad ready inn the fridge.
In the mood..always..in summer for these types of salads!
Congrats on your Parade feature, Chris! Going to check out your pasta salads now.
They each look so fresh and good that I could not choose!
