Caprese Pasta Salad

Try this delicious Caprese Pasta Salad. Get the recipe on MarlaMeridith.com

 

This pasta salad can be whipped together in no time at all and can be served all year long. My kids are obsessed with little mozzarella balls, small sea shell pasta and these teeny tiny tomatoes. All of which come together to create the perfect Caprese Pasta Salad!

Dig in…

We plan on being lazy today.

And we plan on munching on plenty of this pasta salad. I found these teeny tiny tomatoes in Dolores, CO. On my way back from Durango. On my way home to Telluride.

I love the small towns around here. There is so much to explore in each one! I also love how each of these ingredients are about the same size…the tomatoes, shells and mozzarella fresco.

I had no basil on hand, which would be traditional in a Caprese salad. No worries though. Fresh cilantro was a very tasty replacement.
