Simple and quick pasta salad recipe packed with fresh veggies for the whole family. Inspired by purchases made at Aldi.

I like to make this as a side dish or appetizer for holiday & celebratory parties. It also for sure works with a good barbecue menu as well! 😏👌🤤 A great non-dairy alternative option to the traditional creamy macaroni salad that you usually see at those kinds of functions.😎 My Grandmother & Stepfather made this often when I was growing up. Traditionally this dish is made with cheeses & meats. Our family often uses cubes or crumbles of cheddar or colby-jack cheese (as well as parmesan, monterey jack, mozzarella, or any cheese you like or have around!👏) & pieces of ham, salami, or pepperoni.🤷🏻‍♀️ But this can quickly be made vegan by leaving those out! 😉👍👍 A very simple recipe that is easy, & adaptable! Enjoy! 👏😎

This is a cold salad we have had at family gatherings for a while now. People seem to love it and it is super simple.

I love making this salad for gatherings and hot summer days 😊

Great for any gathering!

This is soooo good. Make sure the pasta is just a little firm. The italian dressing will soften it up.

Growing up my mom would make this for me at least once a month, but she always made it with spaghetti noodles. Given that I suck at cutting noodles, I adapted. Haha. Hope you enjoy a slice of my childhood. :)

It’s still hot where I live and I wanted something cold and hearty.

Healthy and delicious 🤤 You will never need another pasta salad recipe!!!

Fresh, easy, & delicious 😊
