Ravioli Salad

Create a casual dining atmosphere on the patio.

If you’ve been following my blog, you are well aware that I just returned from a wonderful trip to Europe where I visited three countries. Italy is known for their pasta dishes and boy do I love pasta. I belong to a travel group and prior to us leaving for Europe, we met to discuss our plans. Everyone was encouraged to bring a dish that represented the countries we would be visiting so I decided to make this Ravioli Salad recipe. It’s a simple yet delicious dish that can be served as a main course. One of the reasons I love Europe is because they love to dine al fresco and this dish is perfect for outdoor entertaining. Enjoy.
