Whether you’re headed to a picnic or planning to grill this Memorial Day.
You’ll need a salad of sorts. But, it doesn’t need to be the same one you make every year.
In fact, we believe that it really shouldn’t be.
And, we’re certain that once you see this one, you’re going to be wowed by the flavor and the heat found in every single bite. C’mon… it’s got bacon, pasta, plenty of flavors, and even more of the biting heat of the scorpion pepper.
There isn’t anything not to love about this salad – and plenty to recommend it to the 8 people that will gobble it up. (Maybe you should make that 4-6 people, as the first few will be back for seconds before anyone else can get in there.)
