Aaah, it has been far too long since I made this dish but I loved it so! I like the fact that the sauce needs no cooking, that you just throw the ingredients in a bowl & let the room temperature do its magic. Perfect with a piece of crusty bread & a glass of your favorite wine.

Have a great weekend everyone! I am entertaining tomorrow for Labor Day. On the menu will be bacon cheddar burger sliders on sweet Hawaiian rolls with horseradish mayo, artichoke dip, some chicken sausage with peppers & onions & some homemade sweet tea.

That looks fabulous. I love pasta and a no cook sauce to top it off. Right up my alley. Dont worry about your little guy going off to kindergarten. I was the same way i was really scared and Carson surprised me so much. He cried he 1st day and that was it he realized he loves school i think he likes staying really busy i guess it got kind of boring home with mommy. I am so pround of him. I bet yours will surprise you as well. thanks for stopping by.

Thank you for effectively ruining my supper tonight. Because we are going to eat at the home of some friends and I can guarantee you I'll not dine on anything as marvelous as this looks.
Sigh...
That looks like some great pasta! Enjoy Kenny Chesney and your Labor Day fun. I'm servin' up grilled Swordfish Tacos for our LD bbq!
Looks beautiful but you always do great stuff. No cook is one of the reasons I love raw oysters and seviche.
Oh yum!
