Tomato and Spinach Pasta Salad Recipe
We just celebrated my niece Grace's 13th birthday. My brother in law Jeff smoked some chicken and she picked out the side dish to go with it. I just loved how this salad turned out. It is very light and summery! We are huge pasta salad lovers, so this is right up our alley. Hope you enjoy it too!
