Summer is undoubtedly the season of socializing. Between graduation, birthdays, family reunions, and cookouts with friends, our summer weekends are jam packed with plans. That’s why I’m always on the hunt for great recipes that I can whip up and contribute to a group meal. I have made many pasta salad recipes over the years, but the one I’m about to share with you is a bit unique (in the best way possible). It’s built in layers, full of veggies and protein, and finished off with a deliciously tangy dressing.
This recipe shared by 12 Tomatoes is super simple, but packed full of delicious flavor. You can use the pasta noodle of your choice (my go-to options are penne or macaroni) and simply add in romaine, peppers, onions, celery, olives, green peas, ham, and cheese. Of course, you can add or swap out whichever ingredients you’d like, but if you follow this recipe, you can’t go wrong.
The recipe also includes instructions for making a tangy and mouthwatering dressing, but with no complicated ingredients. You’ll definitely have these ingredients already on hand in your pantry and fridge. Mix together the dressing ingredients, toss well with the salad, and you’re good to go!
Check out the full ingredient list and step-by-step instructions here. This is such a quick and easy recipe that can be mixed together in no time at all, but is sure to be a hit at any get together. It’s a perfect side dish, but I would absolutely eat this as a meal!
