Description

This pasta salad is a real ray of sunshine on a plate! I often prepare it in the summer, when the tomatoes are full of sunshine and the mozzarella is very creamy. It is a simple, quick and full of Italian flavors dish. The combination of pasta, melting mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, olives and pesto is just perfect. A little rocket for the final touch and here is a complete meal, ideal for a picnic, a lunch on the terrace or a light dinner. It can easily be prepared in advance and it is always appreciated. Feel free to vary the pleasures by adding other seasonal vegetables!
