How to Assemble the Ultimate Summer Burger Board with Kentucky Cattlemen's Beef

I am so excited to partner with Kentucky Cattlemen’s Beef to bring you the Ultimate Summer Burger Board just in time for your summer cookouts and Memorial Day Weekend festivities! Kentucky Cattlemen’s fresh, natural (no artificial ingredients, minimally processed) beef is sourced from Kentucky farm families who share a commitment to animal care and the environment. When you buy Kentucky Cattlemen’s Ground Beef you can feel confident in purchasing a great tasting product while supporting local Kentucky (which I love!). You can truly taste the difference in the quality of this beef, so I was thrilled to feature it on this board.

The Most Extra Italian Pasta Salad

Go ahead and file this one under my favorite summer recipes- it’s that good! Pasta salad is one of my favorite summer dishes and I especially love Italian ingredients in pasta salad. I started out wanting to make a basic summer Italian pasta salad but just kept finding more and more ingredients I wanted to add! I decided to just throw every possible favorite ingredient I could think of into one super extra Italian pasta salad. It has a little bit of everything- crispy pancetta, salami, pepperoni, toasty pine nuts, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, fresh arugula and tomatoes, feta AND mozzarella cheese, and a perfectly light and tangy lemony oil and vinegar dressing. I also used two different varieties of pasta to add even more texture and surprise to each bite! Find the full list of ingredients and instructions below!
