This garden-fresh pasta salad is everything we love about summer—cool, crisp and full of vibrant flavor. Jovial’s gluten-free brown rice farfalle adds a perfectly al dente bite, while their extra virgin olive oil brings rich, fruity depth to the zesty homemade dressing. Tender asparagus, snap peas and arugula keep things bright and green, and warm pasta melts into crumbled feta for a creamy, tangy twist. Finished with fresh dill (and optional radish slices for flair), it’s a light yet satisfying dish elevated by simple, high-quality ingredients.
