July Fourth Recipe: Pesto Pasta Salad
This recipe was one of the favorites from my days at Mars Hill Cafe. It is almost too simple to make. In essence it is just pasta tossed in pesto mayo. You can easily alter to fit your own tastes like adding sun dried tomatoes or perhaps a little Italian olive salad. Heck, you can even add both; I won’t judge you. Listed below is the base recipe. Don’t hesitate to freestyle. Check this out:
July Fourth Recipe From Nicky Morse, the Racing Chef

- 1.5 Ounces Romano Cheese (Grated)
- 2 Teaspoons Chili Powder
- To Taste Salt

Procedure:
- Cook the ears of corn. Some people like to boil their corn, and some like to cook it on the grill in the husk. You choose the way that you like it best. They both will work.
- Mix the mayonnaise and lime juice together; brush it on the corn.
- Mix the cheese and chili powder together; sprinkle it evenly on the corn.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Enjoy!
