Disclaimer: I personally like not only simple meals, but also generally quite plain ones. So…
Does this mean you shouldn’t add all of your very favorite pasta salad related items to the foundation of this basic pasta salad? Heck no!
VARIATIONS
Where to start or end?! It’s pasta salad!
I like mine pretty darn boring and simple, but I know many who like to add:
• Cucumber
• Broccoli
• Parsley
• Basil
You can add anything you like to this pasta salad!
Instead of rotini, you could also use penne or bow tie pasta.
Whole wheat is usually my go to, but you do you. 🤗
I personally spent a lifetime picking out everything in pasta salads but the noodles, onions, olives, and tomatoes and thus… this recipe was born as my very favorite! 😂 #lessismore
