Tips for the Best Pasta Salad
- Dressing - it is important to let the pasta salad absorb the flavors of the dressing. It's best to prepare the salad at least 30 minutes - 1 hour in advance to allow the flavors to develop. You can also prepare the salad 1 day in advance.
- Mix-In's - the best part about pasta salads is they are customizable! For added variety you can also add in roasted red peppers, thinly sliced red onions, sun dried tomatoes, or spinach! They are all great additions to the salad.
- Pasta - making pasta salads are fun because if you have half a bag of pasta left over in your pantry you can use it up for a salad! Any shape of pasta works for this salad. We love classic macaroni salad but you can use any small shaped pasta you have, for example, bow-tie, fusilli, penne, and more!
