Rocotillo Pepper Pasta Salad with White Baslamic Dressing

Don't forget my Spring Fling Giveaway! You can still enter to win here. Winner will be announced on the 15th.


This week the weather has been just plain out CRAZY. We went from snow and ice to beautiful 80 degree weather. All that gorgeous sunshine has me wanting to spend the days outside and eating lighter summer foods. I'm so ready to plant my garden and reap the benefits of homegrown veggies. Can you believe the weather is changing yet again tonight? Goodbye beautiful, hello freezing rain and 30 degree temps. My sinuses are going to go bonkers. 

Rocotillo Pepper Pasta Salad with White Balsamic Dressing

1 Rocotillo pepper (sliced)
