The key to a great pasta salad is choosing the right type of pasta. We recommend using bowtie pasta noodles but any short noodles will work, such as penne, fusilli, or even macaroni. You also want to chill your pasta salad in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving. This will allow your pasta and the dressing to really come together and allow the flavors to pop out more. If you want to turn this into a high-protein pasta salad, try substituting your noodles with chickpea pasta.
