Here in Wisconsin, we\u2019ve started <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/categories\/893\/summer-fashion.html\">the season<\/a> with a long spell of 90-degree days, so a cold pasta salad like this has been hitting the spot. You do, of course, have to boil the pasta, but that\u2019s better than having the oven on for a long spell, heating up your house even more (no, thank you). Beyond boiling the noodles and chopping some veggies, this summer pasta salad recipe is virtually effortless. Less time in the kitchen, more time at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/categories\/2442\/the-vacation-shop.html\">beach<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/swim\">pool<\/a>?

The dressing is simple: We\u2019re using chopped fresh basil, parsley, and chives, along with some olive oil, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Shake that all up in a jar and pour it over your pasta salad. Then, finish the whole thing off with some fresh basil leaves and a generous pour of balsamic vinegar. See? Effortless.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-250727\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/caprese-pasta-salad-9733.jpg\" alt=\"a closeup shot from a summer pasta salad recipe with mozarella tomatoes and basil\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" \/>\n<p>Bring this easy dish to a potluck, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/fashion\/mvp-trend-of-the-week-picnic-outfit-pieces\/\">picnic<\/a>, or make it for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/categories\/893_1386\/4th-of-july-fashion.html\">4th of July<\/a>.
