Broccolini Parmesan Pasta Salad

Pasta salads are my �go to� for pot lucks, standby make ahead meals and grab �n go lunches during warmer months. I love that they last for days and are usually even better the next day once the flavours have had a chance to meld together.

I have a theory that you can use almost any vegetable to make a truly great pasta salad. And I think this is a good example of it. When you think of broccolini, you probably don�t immediately think of pasta salad! But it is a fabulous pairing. ESPECIALLY with that Lemon Dressing.

And parmesan.
