Greek Pasta Salad

Summer's going to be in full swing in just a few weeks. Time to break out all the picnic food...and that means summer salads!! This Greek Pasta Salad is so yummy and a fun twist on your regular pasta salad. Switch up the black olives that I used for kalamata olives for a more intense flavor. This is a super simple salad to throw together and is a crowd pleaser as well!
