Gluten Free Basil Pasta Salad
"This pasta salad is sure to please any flavor lover! It is durable for summer picnics, can be made the day before, and tastes great!When I make it at home, I refer to use Gluten Free Pasta and for that reason, I feel a built guilt-free when eating it by the bowl full.Side Note-As much as I like pasta, I had to find alternative sources to be able to enjoy it without feeling guilty. After personally trying MANY different kinds for years, brown rice pasta is a go-to for me and my family. Which means its perfect for this Gluten Free Pasta Salad. I almost always use brown rice pasta and my kids have had zero complaints until date. However, I do have occasions when regular pasta makes its way to my plate. This particular dish can be made with either variations depending on your dietary restrictions."
