Garden Pasta Salad with Lemon-Oregano Dressing #InspiredbyNature #Sponsored

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of  Charles Viancin.* All opinions are my own.

Here we are on day three of our Summer Equinox Progressive Picnic. Read more about the event and enter the giveaway:  here or below. Today I am sharing two recipes for a salad course - one sweet and one savory. This is the savory course and I found inspiration at one of our weekly farmers' markets.

  

The boys picked golden beets, dandelion leaves, carrots, and summer squash; I was inspired by some organic lemons for an easy summer dressing.

You can read my thoughts about the air-tight lids by Charles Viancin in my Summer Fruits with a Black Currant-Rosemary Drizzle post. They are such a great alternative to using disposable plastic wrap to get your salad from the kitchen to the potluck table.
