The Shirley Journey

Finding Joy in the Journey

Two Weeks in Ireland with Kids

We took a trip to Ireland last year, but it was just us. We knew immediately the kids would love it, so this time we brought the kids to Ireland! Day 1 We left the house Monday, August 14th about noon and arrived at Newark International Airport at about 2:30, breezed through security, and sat […]

Warm weather is here! With that comes all the barbecues, cookouts and grilling! I love a light, fresh salad for Spring and Summer, whether it’s as an appetizer, side dish, or as the main course. Save-A-Lot stores have a wide selection of fresh, delicious ingredients to inspire a variety of salads.

Today we’re sharing a perfect summer pasta salad!

This is the perfect summer pasta salad! Bacon, fresh veggies and pasta!

One of the things I look for in a salad for the warm weather is that it’s able to actually sit outside. This pasta salad contains no mayonnaise, sour cream, or yogurt.

Vegetables from SaveALot

I really love the amazing prices at Save-A-Lot. We’re able to stock up on great fresh fruit and vegetables without blowing the budget.

Roasted Veggies Summer Salad

Look how pretty those veggies are getting ready to go in the oven! This just says summer salad to me!

SaveALot Pasta Salad Bacon

Bacon and Pasta! Woohoo! Both have seem to have increased in prices lately, but not at Save-A-Lot! The bacon was 2/$5! Of course, prices may vary at your location, but I’m sure it’s still a great deal!

We enjoyed our summer pasta salad with a steak and crescent rolls for dinner, but I would gladly eat it alone for lunch. Between the bacon, veggies, and pasta, it’s definitely able to stand as a meal. It will make a great dish to bring along to all those summer parties coming up!

    Mine is Greek. Well, all year round. I use tomatoes, cucumber, feta, oregano, anchovies, kalamata olives, green peppers, red and vidalia onions and have pita chips or pita bread with it.

    No dressing? I’d at least put some oil/vinegar on it for flavor.

      The veggies make their own sort of oil dressing while roasting in the oven. I think it’s enough and picks up the natural flavors.

    oh my this has to be the most perfect salad I love the way you bake the veggies for a bit, not so much they are all brown, but softened – and I love bowties – I must do this!
