The fried chicken at the walmart deli is one of our favorite entrees for a summer evening outside.
Recipe Summary Maya's Perfect Pesto Pasta Salad
My 10-year-old daughter Maya and I created this easy but delicious pasta salad, featuring her favorite pesto flavors. This salad is great as the center of a light dinner, or as a side dish.Ingredients | Pasta Salad Box Walmart
1 (16 ounce) package corkscrew-shaped pasta (fusilli)
¾ cup chopped fresh basil
¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup pine nuts
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, diced
½ cup finely diced red onion
½ cup finely diced radicchio
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Combine basil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, oil, and garlic in a food processor; blend to make pesto.
Toss pasta with pesto and mix in red onion, radicchio, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
I prefer using the corkscrew pasta medley.
