Skip the work of having to make pesto from scratch and lean on store-bought to make this salad.
Pasta lathered in bright basil pesto has long been one of my favorite foods — so much so that my parents have home videos of me eating big bowls of it when I was two years old. I love pesto for all the nuanced flavor it brings to a dish.
Lightly dressing it with lemon juice provides the peppery, brightness that a good salad needs. Finished with chewy and sweet sundried tomatoes, juicy cherry tomatoes, bite-sized mozzarella pearls and fresh basil, this best-at-room-temperature salad hits every flavor note, is easy enough to throw together for last minute get-togethers and will keep you coming back all summer long.
