This easy pasta salad recipe is flexible based on the ingredients you have in your kitchen or the season. Start with a hearty pasta shape with nooks and crannies to hold onto the dressing like rotini or penne. Then toss with our simple dressing and lots of colorful vegetables. We also love adding a handful of fresh mozzarella balls and parmesan cheese, which melts into the dressing. For more suggestions for what to add, read through our recommendations in the article above.
