Creamy Pesto Pasta Salad with Corn and Bacon

I made this creamy pesto pasta salad on a whim for a friend’s BBQ, and it was instantly dubbed my new signature dish! Made with fresh basil pesto, sweet corn, crispy bacon, and a tangy twist, it’s an easy crowd-pleaser. My kids even gobbled it up for dinner—this one’s a winner!

Chicken Parm Sliders
