Updated May 30, 2023 Easy Summer Pasta Salad-a simple pasta salad recipe that is perfect for all of your summer BBQ’s and potlucks! I love this pasta salad because it is loaded with fresh summer vegetables. It is a great recipe for using up all of the vegetables from your garden or farmers market haul. The vegetables make the salad bright and colorful!
How to Make Summer Pasta Salad
For the salad, we used Farfalle pasta. I love using butterfly pasta because it is pretty and fun to eat! You can use any pasta, use your favorite or what you have in your pantry. Cook the pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. To the pasta, we added tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, artichokes, fresh basil, and feta cheese. Toss the salad with balsamic vinaigrette. I love using my homemade dressing, it is so easy to whisk up! Of course, you can use your favorite store-bought dressing. Garnish with extra basil, if desired.
How to Store
This pasta salad is a great recipe to take to summer BBQ’s and potlucks. It transports well and can be made for the masses. You can easily double, triple, or times this recipe by 10 if you need to. Just make sure you have a big bowl:) We also love eating this pasta salad for lunch or dinner and the leftovers are great. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to serve, you might want to toss it in a little extra dressing.
