20 Pasta Salad Recipes
There are many side dishes served at backyard barbecues or parties during summer. But let’s be honest, a summer barbecue is not complete without a good pasta salad! I’ll eat anything with pesto sauce, but my favorite pasta salad is full of delicious fresh veggies and topped with a tangy vinegar dressing. While my husband likes a more traditional pasta salad with salami, tomatoes, black olives, green peppers, and chunks of swiss cheese. Growing up every pasta salad dish I ever ate was made with rotini noodles but now I’m seeing mini shells, penne, elbow, and so many more. In addition to the many shapes, pasta is now available in a wide variety of different types of pasta including gluten-free, whole wheat, grain-free, veggie, and more. So now anyone can enjoy a good pasta salad!
