  • Preserved Meyer Lemon Pasta Salad

🍋This recipe features our organic Meyer Lemons from sunny California available every Spring!

🍋This recipe can be made with the zest of Meyer lemons but I love the unique flavor the preserved lemons bring to the dish.

🍋Plan ahead and be sure to make your preserved lemons at least a week prior to making this pasta salad. You can find the recipe to make preserved lemons here.

🍋This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a crowd!
