Why We Love Pasta Salads
Pasta salads are extra filling – a hearty stand-alone main dish or side! Of course, we love them!
Pasta is a perfect vehicle for a wide array of flavors and can accompany many different cuisines. You’ll love the options! Many salads benefit from being in the fridge for a couple of hours. This allows the flavors to meld with the salad dressings, making these perfect for prepping ahead of time. Another reason we love these for potlucks!
With so many tasty choices and plenty of fresh ingredients, there’s lots to love!
