Italian Pasta salad is one of my all-time favorite cold pasta salad dishes! It’s fresh, light, zesty, and just a total crowd-pleaser. This Paleo Italian Pasta Salad is such a great make-ahead for the week for easy grab-and-go lunches (for adults and kids!) and it’s even better to make a huge batch for summer gatherings. I am planning on taking a big batch of this to the lake for Labor Day weekend with Clayton’s family.
You’re probably thinking– how is this Paleo? It’s pasta? Well, I used Jovial Foods’ new Cassava pasta and dressed it with my own Homemade Italian Dressing. This Paleo Italian Pasta Salad turned out so great and I just know you all are going to love it!
