Welcome to pasta salad season! A far cry from the boring, bland, under-dressed and over-pasta’d pasta salads you may be used to, this is one you’re going to want in your rotation all summer long. This one tastes like summer and is filled with all the perfect produce in abundance this time of year. There’s jammy zucchini, toasty walnuts, peppery scallions, a little spice, a lot of lemon, briny capers, fresh herbs, and basically an entire block of parmesan.

It’s long weekend-ready, but it’s also an excellent summer stoop lunch, beach snack, a showstopper at any potluck, and a dinner party go-to. It’s pasta salad post-makeover montage: a little more sophisticated, a lot more layered in texture and flavor, and just really, really delicious. Everything you could ask for and more.
