Tips & Tricks

For this pasta salad, you can't use just any pasta. We recommend penne, shell, or fusilli. Long pastas such as spaghetti or fettuccini, etc. are not ideal.

You can add some corn to the salad, to give it more flavor.

You can also add raisins or some other kind of nut or dehydrated fruit of your choice.

If you don't have chicken in your fridge, but you have pork chops, you can use this instead. Slice it and cook it in a pan.

Pasta salad is a quick way to make a main dish that is also healthy. Try making it with your favorite fresh ingredients.
