If you live in a country with a red white and blue flag – toss up this simple dish, cheer for your team and enjoy the Olympics.
By Rachel Swetnam
It’s Olympic days and in honor of America, Great Britain or France (really any country with those colors in their flag), I’ve made a great dish to serve up during your watch parties. I just love pasta salad and although blueberries may be a surprising addition, they are quite delightful!
So toss up this simple dish, cheer for your team and enjoy the Olympics.
If your team is not red, white and blue take this opportunity to make up your own pasta dish to honor your homeland.
