BEST PASTA SALAD RECIPE
If you ever need a simple and delicious go-to recipe for your holiday parties, BBQ’s or family get-togethers, this Pasta Salad recipe is one of the best pasta salad recipes out there. I love how easy it is to throw together.
You can literally throw in a wide variety of pasta noodles, veggies, cheeses, olives, meats, etc. which makes the pasta salad the perfect recipe to make when you might be in a pinch.
I recently served this at a family get together we had for my nephew who just returned home from serving a two year mission in the Philippines for our church. There were about 30 people at this gathering and the salad was gobbled right up. Next time I will make extra and save some at home in the fridge for me to eat as leftovers..haha!
