Pesto Pasta Salad

Pesto Pasta Salad

Everyday

Pesto Pasta Salad is a chilled dish combining cooked pasta with fresh pesto sauce, typically enriched with mix-ins like cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, or grilled chicken. The pesto base – made from basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and olive oil – provides heart-healthy fats and herbaceous flavor, while the pasta serves as a carbohydrate foundation. This versatile salad balances macronutrients effectively and adapts to dietary preferences through gluten-free pasta substitutions or vegan pesto variations.
