Italian Pasta Salad

Italian Pasta Salad

Everyday

Italian pasta salad is a chilled dish combining cooked pasta (typically short shapes like rotini) with fresh vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, olives, and bell peppers. The salad is dressed in an herb-infused vinaigrette and often includes additions like mozzarella cheese or cured meats for varied texture and flavor. While carbohydrate-dense from the pasta base, it provides balanced nutrition through vegetable fiber and heart-healthy fats from olive oil. This versatile preparation can be adapted for gluten-free or vegetarian diets through pasta substitutions and ingredient modifications.
