A Nostalgic Family Memory
Every summer, my family would gather at my grandmother’s house for a weekend of laughter, games, and of course, delicious food. The backyard was always buzzing with the playful sounds of cousins chasing each other, while the adults lounged under the shade of the old oak tree, sharing stories and reminiscing about days gone by.
Among the array of dishes that adorned the picnic table, my grandmother’s pasta salad was always a standout. Her secret? A splash of fresh orange juice and a sprinkle of orange zest, which she believed added a bit of sunshine to each bite.
This recipe is my tribute to those cherished summer afternoons. As I prepare the salad, I’m reminded of the joy and warmth that filled those days, the citrusy aroma of oranges mingling with the fresh scent of cilantro, and the sweet taste of grapes bursting with flavor.
Each bite of this salad takes me back to those sunlit afternoons, with the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze and the comforting presence of family by my side. It’s a reminder that the simplest dishes, made with love and shared with those we hold dear, often become the most memorable.
