    This Peach & Shrimp Pasta Salad is a fresh, summery dish featuring juicy peaches, tender shrimp and pasta tossed in a light vinaigrette. Perfect for picnics, lunches or as an easy summer side dish. I was inspired by seasonal fruits – fresh peaches and half a pint of blackberries – to build up a recipe that lets pasta take a bit of a back seat.
