Summer Garden Pasta Salad has tender bow-tie pasta, summer vegetables with a lemon buttermilk dressing. Perfect for picnics and barbecues.

If you need another great pasta recipe, try my deli pasta salad! It’s also a crowd favorite.

This pasta salad recipe is the recipe I make whenever I serve Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pork. It’s like a stepped-up version of mac salad. My husband does not like mac salad but this is his favorite recipe. The dressing is full of lemon and dill flavor and the veggies give the salad crunch.

If you need to make this the night before, don’t chop or add the tomatoes until the day you want to serve. They get mealy in the fridge.
