There's something about pasta salad. While we think there's never a reason to feel guilty about eating pasta, some people do – especially once summer rolls around. For whatever reason,, helping yourself to a plateful of pasta in salad form can somehow make it seem less carb-forward. Plus it's served cold or at room temperature, which can render it comforting on those days when the mercury is sky high – especially here in Italy where many of us don't have air conditioning.
So, we've compiled ten pasta salad recipes for you to try this summer. Whether you're having a barbecue, attending a potluck, planning a picnic, or just simply in the mood, these ten ideas are guaranteed to hit the spot. Take your pick from preparations with veggies to those that are a little more seafood-centric.
As easy as is, pasta salad can be easy to botch. So check out these tips and tricks to ensure that yours comes out perfect.
