Rigatoni Pasta Salad Is Picnic Perfect!

This recipe is ideal for BBQs, potlucks, and other social events when you have to bring a dish to pass. People love Italian dishes, and this cold salad is one that you’re not going to see very often. I get tired of bringing the same dishes over and over again, so whenever I find something new and exciting like this one, I’m giving it a shot for sure. I always walk away with an empty dish and tons of requests for the recipe. I don’t mind sharing at all. This is a versatile dish, so feel free to make it your own!
