You've been having a lovely picnic, with chirping birds, sunny skies, and all that warm spring-y jazz. Then someone brings the plastic tub of grocery store macaroni salad out and, just like that, thunderclouds and doom. You're going to have to eat that stuff, just to be polite. Or, you can rewind time and order this meal, a pasta salad that blows any and all out of their picnic basket water. Fresh sweet corn and rich goat cheese perfectly round out the pasta, and the basil garnish adds that supple spring note. Get those birds back to chirping and that sun out of from the clouds: You've brought the pasta salad to a whole new level.
