  1. Made this to take to the beach. Delish. I added cut up cucumbers from my garden, too! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

  2. Can you say yummy in my tummy! We have a family party coming up and this is something that I would love to make. For myself, I would make vegetti noodles instead of pasta because of my gluten issues but this is perfect for summer!! Thank you for sharing!
