Summertime is full of PASTA-bilities
I don’t know about you guys but we love a good pasta salad. They really round out a BBQ party and you can do so much with a pasta salad. You can really get creative as you like or keep it as simple as you like. Some are creamy and some are oil based … ALL delicious! We have rounded up our top 5 pasta salads we have done to share with you all for your BBQ parties this summer!
Classic Pasta Salad - Of course we have to kick it off with out classic pasta salad. Sometimes simple is best and even with this homemade oil based dressing it is an incredibly simple dish to make for any backyard party. The flavors come together well and pair with all meal choices whether you are opting to go big with steaks or keep it all simple with hot dogs and hamburgers.
Italian Pasta Salad - Oh baby! The flavors in this pasta salad are so delicious! The salami and the mozzarella cheese balls really bring out such amazing flavors. We used just some seasoings and basic olive oil to dress this salad and I am so happy with how it turned out. You could get more creative or use a pre-made Italian dressing to pull it all together!
Tuna Pasta Salad - I love ALL of our recipes and that obviously means I love all of our pasta salad recipes we are sharing today but OMG I really love this tuna pasta salad! It seriously was so amazing when we finished it! I love tuna and I love pasta so why wouldn’t pulling those 2 things together be magical?
Tuscan Pasta Salad - This is our most recent pasta salad and we pulled it together with a delicious Tuscan Chicken - so good! It has sundried tomatoes just like our Italian pasta salad but they flavor profile is so different we love it! We even used our favorite Tuscan EVOO Olive Oil to add extra flavor.
BLT Pasta Salad - OOOOOOOOO Baby! I know I said the Tuna Salad might be my favorite pasta salad, and that is still true but this BLT pasta salad gets me excited too! I love anything BLT whether its a sandwich or a cobb salad or just all of those ingredients on their own LOL … I mean bacon, cheddar cheese and crisp lettuce? That is a good meal right there lol. But seriously, putting it together with a creamy ranch style dressing and pasta noodles - yeah girl, get it!
Well that is our lineup of our favorite pasta salads! Any of them would make an excellent addition to a backyard BBQ party this year!
