Smoky, smoky, smoky!
The flavor in this simple pasta salad gets kicked up a few notches by adding 2 spices to the mayo before you toss it all together.
My guess is that you have all of these items on hand you could make this TONIGHT.
I adore pantry staple recipes like this one…not only because of how easy and simple they are to put together, but also because they keep me out of the drive thru lane or calling for takeout!
Give this one a try on a hot summer night!
